Now seems like a good time to ask this:
Does anyone have any recommendations on a dialup modem equivalent of Linksys
cable/DSL router? I've asked this at meetings before and think that the rest
of the list may want to also know what the response is.
I remember hearing about something called webramp or some such, and that possibly
Cisco makes such a device, but does anyone have any links? Have you used one
personally? Is it good enough to run a business off of?
TIA,
Tony
