Remote Access Via Dial/PSTN - Options Now PVDM's are EOSale'd

[martynbeck]

I have a number of very remote sites that cost-effectively only PSTN can be provisioned to for land-line comms,

these dial land lines providing back-up to low-bandwidth satellite comms services.

With the end-of-sale of the PVDM modules for routers, i see dial/PSTN remote access functionality

that Cisco offered with the these as now completely unavailable in the whole Cisco product set. Is there any

dial/PSTN Remote Access concentrator functionality hidden away in any of the Cisco products, or is it truly

Cisco cannot supply a device to service my dial requirements ?? Alternatives ??

thnks

I've no definitive replacement solution as yet.

Most promising kit so far to replace cisco PVDM functions is remanufactured Portmaster PM3.

All the major vendors seem to have pulled out of dial.

Other than than we may have to run point to point radio to these locations

Sat comms also maybe an option open to u
