Hi Guys, I'm setting up a small dial-up service at the moment, what I need help with is the choice between getting a dedicated Terminal Server or a Multi-Port IO card. I've had a look at the Comtrol Rocket Port cards and they look great, but the only problem is when it comes to actually controlling the card. I've had conversations with people who were running Terminal Servers, and they said that the product had all sorts of neat little features such as being able to detect if a modem was not resetting itself and if so the TS would avoid that modem, so that people dialing in on the rotary line would not hit the faulty modem. There was one guy talking who said that his system was offering no engaged lines the way that they would offer this services was to check if the very last modem on the rack was getting 2-3 calls in a day, and they they would buy another modem if this was the case. Any ideas guys ? Thanks Graham Daveney daveney@speednet.com.au
