GTE has been promoting this model for several years now. They seem to be getting closer to something reasonable and I guess several ISP's are considering and/or doing it.
Has anybody looked at the practicality of installing modem pools in each telco switch location to grab the dialup user's traffic at the IP level and then route it to their ISP of choice for authentication and further routing. In other words, an ISP wouldn't buy phone lines, modems and terminal servers, they would buy IP access ports.
I now find that BC-Tel is offering this service in parts of British Columbia. BC-Tel is half owned by GTE. Michael Dillon ISP & Internet Consulting Memra Software Inc. Fax: +1-604-546-3049 http://www.memra.com E-mail: michael () memra com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
