When I sold my business in January, we still had 4 PRI circuits that were
providing Dial-Up access using Livingston Portmaster 3's. I bet those thing=
s
will run for another 5 years! :)
Dial Up still has a place in many areas where Broadband cannot
cost-effectively reach. Better to have Dial Up than nothing at all.
