Can anyone suggest, other than using Cisco's a brand of UK-compliant boxes that effectively will perform a PSTN dial up function, so that when the two boxes are connected, the LAN's are effectively bridged together
Basically what we want to be able to do is connect a PC on a LAN, so that at will, a number can be dialed and you can then telnet to the far end
You may be asking something else, but pretty much every PPP implementation I've ever seen on a UNIX-like system or router has dial on demand capabilities. However, I do wonder if you are trying to express something unusual about this setup by the use of the term "bridged" as opposed to normal layer-3 routing. -- Crist J.
