Yes, that's the feature to look for on the Adtran DSU and appropriate module(s), drop-and-insert. Steve Gibbard wrote:
The feature you're looking for is called drop and insert. I don't think the channelized T1 modules for the Cisco 3640 will do it. I don't know about the AS5300 off the top of my head, but Cisco's web site should say.
I was doing this with an Ascend Max 6000, and it worked. I wouldn't recommend the Maxes, though, since unless something has changed in the last five months, we were never able to find a software version for it that supported v.90 and would stay up for more than a few weeks without needing to be rebooted. Other dial-up terminal servers should be able to handle this too. Look for "drop and insert" in the specs.
Inet-access is probably a better list for this discussion than nanog.

I've been handling routing for web farms for quite a while and all my clients have leased lines (T1's, T3's, etc) and haven't done much in the way of dialup connects except for a portmaster here and there for backdoor stuff. As a result, I'm a little dumb about basic dial-up access and equipment.
What access router would I need to take in a channelized T1 that needs to have 6 of the lines split out for feeds to a fax server and the remaining used for dialup POPs? I've been looking at the Ascend/Lucent SuperPipe 155 and the Cisco 36xx and 53xx, but wonder if those can split out the fax server feeds I need from the T1.
Any and all *constructive* feedback on this will be greatly appreciated.
