All - wanted to say thanks for enlightening me. Been a very interesting thread. Seems like there's a lot of legacy technology, regulations, and thinking that we have to take into account in planning. The original thread was on geographical redundancy - guess it should have been more specific:<div>

If I remember correctly tho, in order to connect to the tandems you had to be able to provide ss7 services. We got all of our ports out of a DMS500, but I do remember people using something<br>
from cisco to emulate a switch (SCC maybe?) and back end all the dial traffic into 5800's....<br>

There were lots of switch-lite solutions (signaling gateways) that were popular during the dialup boom. The Cisco PGW was very popular among them. All of these could control media gateways via H.248/MEGACO or MGCP, and the TNTs did H.248. Just very basic SS7 ISUP->media gateway control was needed to get modem pools going.<br>

And the Cisco AS-series stuff is MGCP, I believe.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
