[olug] RAS for dial-up ISP question

Or you can buy a Cisco 2509 and hook up a bunch of external modems to the
AUX ports and run ppp over them and then just manage usernames/passwords on
the router or setup a radius box.  This is what I'm doing at home for remote
dial-in for me or a couple other people.  If you have questions about this
method I can give ya some links but this would be about $300-400 for the
router as it is EOL and then just buy modems.  Cisco has one that supports 6
modems/devices and 1 that supports 12 I think.
