You might want to consider that you should be able to buy a dialback modem
for under $300. We use Multi-tech MT224E7B's which have a dialback feature in
firmware that works very reliably. I used to play around with dialback scripts
too and never found them very reliable. If you spend a few days to get a
dialback script to work, you could have bought a dialback modem. Of course this
comparison depends on how your organization values staff time (and how many
dialback modems are needed). Just a thought.
