>Digiboard with 2 modems. He wants to be able to aggregate the modems
>dialing into our modem pool (Microcom ISPortes on PM2E-30s). I am under
>the impression that IF he were to get a Livingston terminal server (like a
>PM2E-10 or something) that we can aggregate the connections using
>Livingston's MP implementation. Can anyone clue me in on the specifics

>Livingston equipment the customer will have to buy to do this? We are
>talking analog 33.6K here, anything digital is not a viable solution in
