I haveinstaled ISDN PCI card and loaded apropriate driver and it seems to be working. That is nice.
This connection shoul dbe used as alternative to leased line.
But, I do not want to set ISDN to automaticaly connect when leasedline dies, but just to let users in local LAN to activate connection when they need it. Dial on demand is out of option since it is far to often that people have programs thay try to connect to Internet on their own and they would triger dial on demand when unneccessary, and possibly keep connection on making unneccessary expence.
What I would like to achieve is to allow any user in LAN to activate MT ISDN connection in some way.
This is not related to ISDN only. I could use modem for the same purpose, but I cannot figure out how to allow manual connection activating by users.
You could just have dial-on-demand activated and disable the whole ISDN interface.
Then a user would have to enable the ISDN interface manually.
The point is, though, that you have to give the users access to the router to do this - and I’m not sure if that’s what you would like to do.
I would NEVER EVER give all users on a customers LAN access to the router
I am actually thinking of setting bogus PPTP connection, set pptp at users comupteer, and if he makes that connection, MT script would recognize and turn on ISDN adapter.That would at least look like dialup connection to user, and it does not require additional web server.
