Did the future planning meeting happen? I haven't heard anything about it
since before its scheduled time. Was anything discussed or decided there?

Ack - yes, it happened. We were all going to enter our impressions of what
was discussed, but haven't gotten around to it, I guess.
I thought it was a good meeting, and I'll share my impressions when I have
a little more time.

In a different item, or more than one, I trust.

Re #55: I think a cisco 3620 with the appropriate interface will be able
to cope with a T1 that's provisioned as a fractional T1 for data, and
channelized dialups on the rest of the T1. I believe with that configuration,
the 3620 would contain the modems; you'd never actually break it out into
individual POTS lines.
(Of course, it might be worth also having a POTS line for the staff dialup
or something, so you can debug things when the T1 goes down.)
Price tag is probably somewhere around $10,000 for the router.
Yes, this is probably well beyond grex's present budget. Think of it as
something that would be interesting to do if we can find a large corporation
which has too much money that would be interested in supporting grex.

Maybe Grex needs a corporate benefactor, who would provide a one time
monetary donation to be used for new equipment. In return, they would
get a tax break, and a message in the MOTD "Thanks to Parke Davis for
donating a CISCO Router"

Oh, it's probably worth noting that you probably could get the high-end
Cyclades router and use that; price is probably closer to $4000.
But still, it doesn't fit grex's current bank account too well.

Although it's a common corporate internal network set-up to use several
of the ds-0 channels on a physical t-1 line for analog phone calls, and the
rest for data, it's a very unusual thing to see in internet service. It might
be most productive to propose a provider for this sort of thing (unless Dorian
Kim was willing to do this) before considering the hardware necessary for the
configuration - it'd likely be cheaper to have the modems terminate somewhere
else and be hauled over a fractional or full t-1. Though both of those seem
very expensive.
