- I have mentioned it before, but here goes again....PROCTOR & ASSOCIATES
- makes an adaptor for modems that will perform dialback, and do it on
- a separate line if you wish. It also has various programmable features
- to thwart the normal problems that one can have with dialing back
- on the same line.
-
- It is the 46300F2 Secured System Access Line (SSAL).
