1500 bucks, supports 192 modems out of the gate, I think they max out at a
few thousand modems.

Setup a FreeBSD box as a router/radius/dns/etc server, don't worry about it
answering modems.

If you want to support anything other than 28.8k modems (i.e. 56k modems),
you'll have to have your inbound lines as DS-1/PRI lines.

What you are looking for is called a HUNT GROUP or ROLLOVER line, a hunt
group usually consists of multiple Channelized T1 or PRI lines that all
answer at the same number, a rollover line is usually multiple individual
POTS (analog) lines that "rollover" to the next if the line is busy with a
call.

This has nothing to do with FreeBSD, it is all dealt with by the telephone
company.  FreeBSD talks directly to the terminating device (modem), not the
phone line.

Hello-
I have a question about modem pools.    If I have several dial in
lines, and I want them to be acessable via one number, is a modem pool
what I want?  How exactly do they work and is freebsd equipped to
handle them?  Thanks.
