3Com TC here. 9 users online at the moment. Surprises me that it's that high. Last reboot on the HiperARC was 399 days ago. I almost forgot how to log on to the damned thing. At one time we had over 3000 DS0s worth of dialup capacity. At 09:37 AM 17/10/2015, frnkblk@iname.com wrote:
We're still using USR Robotics/3com TotalControls and were able to get some spare parts from our statewide telecom partner when they shut down their stuff. Most common problem we see now are fan failures, but we just cannabilize existing the fans out of a fan tray. The volume of calls are so low that there are no hours that no one is dialed in, and at most we see two people connected at one time.

Does anyone have any suggestions on equipment for our ISP that is still supporting dial up customers?
At the moment we are running 3Com Total Control 1000's but are running out of spare parts as we have failures. Given that this gear is so old trying to source spare parts is proving to be difficult.
We do have access to an Cisco AS5200 but are looking for maybe a SIP based solution that could possibly run on our VM farm? Has anyone heard of anything like that or does it even exist?
What kind of gear are you running if you still are supporting dial up customers?
Thanks in advance
