Not doing it currently, but when we did we used a FlowPoint 2200 in routed mode into the second ethernet port on a 2e/1serial 25xx. , with a /30 between the FP and the Cisco. > Is anyone aware of a WIC card that will work with the lower end Cisco gear > (1700 or 2600 series) that will allow me to terminate an ADSL or > preferably an SDSL line directly on the router? The idea being that the > router is then aware of link up/down status... Covad business class is SDSL. But - if the DSL line is backup to the T1, does the router 'need' to know that the DSL line is down ? I believe we just used weighted static routes. If the T1 was up use that, otherwise use the DSL. If both are down -- it won't really matter, will it ? :-) (Unless you are relying on SNMP monitoring from this router internally for an alarm). ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- [email protected] -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/
