[nsp] Modem / Dial-back

[Tim Stiles]

Hey I didn't mean to get everyone riled up.  Please note that my original 
post should have said AUX Port.  In short I want to be able to telnet to 
rtr1 that has a modem attached to the AUX port, then reverse telnet to the 
modem and use it to dial a modem attached to rtr2's AUX port in another 
location,  that router would then hang up and call back rtr1 on a 
pre-defined number.  I hope that clears things up, I get confused just 
talking about it.  : )

Tim
