Is there equipment that, short of a fixed ip, tries to reassign the same ip back to the same user? Ie, puts the ip address in a fifo but pulls it out early if it's the same user calling back.
When we started out years ago, every user got a static IP. That's since changed, but I've always thought a decent NAT between the dialup equipment and the net would be nice. The user would always get the same address back and could resume their session... I actually did the inverse at home for some time with IPFilter's NAT. I could have a bunch of term sessions on various boxes and resume all of them when the router/pc dialed back in after being dropped. I did have a static IP, but only one for about 5 machines...
