Router with dial up fallbackI am looking for a router either wired or wireless that has both Ethernet Wan And a dial up connection for truly redundant service, i have thought about also a broadband cellular card however i am unsure of stability of service. I am looking into this for a potential business, otherwise i would not worry about having a redundant connection. |

Instead of typing "pfsense" all the time, I'm going to start linking back to my previous post. It's a plan that is as convoluted as it is elegant. |

I was disappointed you didnt use your usual "SMARTIES" slogan... Save the RED ones last. |
|

Yeah, they seem to be sold out of the red ones a lot lately, so my little quip ends up just leading to more questions. I'll take credit for that model being so hot right now though. |

When you say dial backup... which "dial backup" method are you looking for? RJ-11 phone? ISDN? 3G card?
What's your budget for this piece of equipment?
Any other requirements other than "dial backup" / redundant connections?

I would be using a pots line for my dialup. I would prefer a router style versus a server with software for multiple connections. I was even thinking about maybe even like a juniper networks router maybe even something I should be able to find for under 500 dollars |

**http://www.provantage.com/scripts/search.dll?QUERY=usg+100+zyxel** I would probably look at the 100 model based on your budget I would be remiss not to clarify that besides dual wan, the backup options for connectivity are 3G and via an AUXilliary connection with supplied Y cable. The Aux connection would be typically connected to a modem (dial in management). screen shot to follow. |

Juniper SSG-5-SB-M and SSG-5-SH-M has a v92 dialback up capability, and in around your $500 pricemark.
A Cisco 800-series, or 1805 / 1811 model router also would have v92 dialbackup capability. A secondhand 1805 or 1811 router on ebay can probably be had for less than $500 these days as they're EOL, but very powerful and capable boxes.
Suspect there's other (older) devices with POTS dialbackup capabilities, just can't think of manufacturer / models off the top of my head.
Best of luck with the search, let us know how it goes.
