[cisco-voip] SRST (in 2821 and 3825) vs. CMM vs. AWG andsomesurvivability design Qs

[Voll, Scott]

I would have to agree with Erick.  A Subscriber at each remote location
might be a good option if you want to keep your 28xx routers.  You would
have full services in case of a WAN outage.  And what are the odds of
both the WAN being down at the same time a Subscriber is down. (quick,
find some wood to knock on ;-)

This is what I was thinking of doing, with the dual router provisioning.

I have one PBX/ea. remote, connected over channels on a T1 to the PBX in
the 
HQ, and also provided with a 6-10 POTS lines, for when the T1 fails.

All in all - one of my questions related to the difference between the
various 
solutions I was contemplating, as I have no experience with any - see
$subj. 
I already know the 2821s are not enough for what I need, and I do not
want to 
take the chance to leave phones purposely not covered (even though some
types 
of failures could - in fact - impact groups of them - under the 
group-splitting per multiple SRTSs on multiple routers example).

Thanks again to all who replied,
Stefan
