Has anybody looked at the practicality of installing modem pools in each telco switch location to grab the dialup user's traffic at the IP level and then route it to their ISP of choice for authentication and further routing. In other words, an ISP wouldn't buy phone lines, modems and terminal servers, they would buy IP access ports.
Southwestern Bell has described such a service they claim to offer here in Texas, though I have not seen it yet. At one point, I had heard that Ameritech and PAC*BELL were bothing looking at something like this. I never saw if they actually did it or not, though. CampusMCI is something like this, but of course there is only one ISP of choice in that case :-). -- Stan | Academ Consulting Services |internet: sob () academ com Olan | For more info on academ, see this |uucp: {mcsun|amdahl}!academ!sob Barber | URL- http://www.academ.com/academ |Opinions expressed are only mine. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
