I use them in my datacenter. SCS 32 with the IOLAN Modem card. I have some basic advice for using it as a dialup 
source. It also does IPSec via our DSL line which also happens to be our POTs line. All kinds of nice stuff but a bit 
of a pain to initially configure if you do not know what you are doing (slight learning curve). I'm happy with it.
