Any way to convert unicast to multicast??

[mmertens]

My customer has a Hoot n Holler application on their entreprise that consists of 7936s plugged into fxs ports which PLAR to a VoIP dial-peer with "session protocol multicast" and that, of course, gets multicast around the enterprise.

So my challenge is that I have a new remote site with a C881 with universal code. It supports voice and multicast, but come to find out the hard way, there isn't a "session protocol" option for multicast. Cisco is saying that it multicast is not supported for dial-peers on the C881 yet but is road-mapped. My question: can anyone think of any alternatives- perhaps something to the effect of PLARing the fxs to an MTP that could multicast, or converting uni-cast to multi-cast, or anything?

I'm at a loss........and I'm stuck in Minneapolis because of it......

THANKS!
