Re: {bb} Modem Not Answering?

["PAUL WILLIAMSON" <pwilliamson@mandtbank.com>]

I think you're missing the point.  It's not outbound that 
needs monitoring, it's the lack of inbound.  We have the 
same issue, and D'OH! I had never thought to use BB.
We only have the modems turned on when a support 
call from a vendor is expected.  Then a NOC Analyst 
brings one of our dial up interfaces online, and turns 
it off when the engineer is finished.  Something new 
to work on now...I knew I wass getting bored.

Hi All,
        I understand the desire NOT to have modems available for dial
in. 
I don't want that either.  My BB server has such a modem so that qpage
can 
dial out to send pages.
        Our PBX allows us to define phone numbers that cannot be dialed

from outside.  Our PBX number is 505-XXX-7900.  My modem's number is 
505-XXX-5938, a number that might get to someone, but it won't be my 
office.  This means I can leave the modem on all the time and war
dialing 
will not find it.  Well, within the PBX, someone can call it, but if
they 
are in my PBX, they are in my LAN, so no need,
        Anyone who needs only dial-out capability should see if their 
phone systems can do this.  Then you don't have to monitor it.
                        Dan

Re: {bb} Modem Not Answering?






Did anyone ever do this?  I have a similar need and was hoping to
leverage the work.
