Datability has been selling the VCP-1000 Communications Platform for over 2 years. One of the cards that slides into this modular communications server is the "Modem Card". This card has 8 built in modems. Users can connect to/from these modems via LAT or TCP/IP. You can set up a slip interface on these modems also. PPP will be supported in the near future. The pricing is quite attractive. For more info, email to info@dss.com.
