Title: ADSL with fall-back on dial-up modem
Post by: Andre Courchesne - Consu on February 14, 2002, 09:55:46 PM

Hi all,

  First let me say that SME if a great product and I have it installed at 5 sites so far.

  I would like to know if there is a way to configure SME for ADSL (PPPoE) access with a fall-back on a dial-up modem if the ADSL link fails. If so how...

  Thanks for the help.

Buy an Argus Corporation EtherAccess 2000 broadband router and connect your ADSL/Cable device to its WAN ethernet port. Connect a dial-up modem to the Async port and off you go. E-smith doesn't have to be involved at all.

Ps. No special plug intended for Argus, any other simialr device would do the job, I just happen to know the Argus products

Hi,

Maybe create a script that is executed via a cron job every x minutes to check if PPPoE is up. If not, bring up ISDN.
