You can use this solution to dial in and connect to your network. You can
dial into your 2600 and it can be config'ed to privide an IP to callers.
Once the callers have an IP they are conencted to the network and are a node
like any other node on the net. Once you are dialed in and have an IP, the
rest as far as logging into servers, services, network attatched storage
etc. is more of making sure that the caller can route to the service/server
and log into those servers/services which is more of an administrative
function then of routing.
I have setup 3640's for dialin, when the person dials in and is
authenticated they are issued an IP and can get to any and all services on
the net. This includes telnet, network shares, attatched storage etc. etc.

Subject: backup solution for VPN
Hi all,
It may not be CCIE related question. But I think this is a good one for
network design solution. My company has VPN provided by Nortel which
currently has around 400 user licenses and we are looking for backup
solution for VPN for around 16 people mainly for admins. That means, if
our VPN gateway or T1 circuit to VPN fails, then we need sort of mechanism
which will allow people to dial in and connected to our network remotely.
Well, it's not only connect to our network devices, but also network
drives. And our budget is tight for this year, so we may only spend less
than $500 per month for the backup solution for VPN. ISDN may not be an
option since it's too pricey for around 16 people. Someone from Cisco
suggested get 16 Async-port module since we already have some spare 2600
routers. But I assume, that kind of module will only allow me to dial in
remotely and manage routers and switches, but not able to get into our
network drives. I will appreciate it if someone can share their thoughts
or experience. Thanks.
