We have a client who wants to make a mobile demonstration
unit consisting of several laptops connected to some kind of
access router on two analog lines to either an ISP or
some dedicated lines in their main office.
The important thing is that they need analog lines, so they
can just borrow two land lines from wherever they are
demonstrating and dial in using MP or multiline load-balancing.
So here are the two questions. First, and easiest, I don't
see any reason why two OR-Ms each with a PCMCIA modem and an
external modem couldn't MLB between each other, unless there
is some intentional limitation in ComOS for the OR
series. Don't ORs just look like PMs with only half
a handful of ports? So couldn't we set up an OR-M with
two modems in the office and another idendical set on the
road, and get two lines worth of MLB?
Second, has anyone had any success using 56k PCMCIA and
external modems in the OR-Ms? I'm thinking about using
one 56k PCMCIA and one 56k external modem on the back of an
OR-M and using it to MLB to a PM3 in our POP, and on
via an existing frame connection to the client.
I know all of this sounds reasonable, I just need to know
if anyone has had success doing it, or if there is some technical
limitation which will keep it from working.
Thanks.
