Get an old USR Total Control 1000, with an NT Edge Server. Load FreeBSD on the edge server. Every thing you ever wanted or needed to do dial-up in a 5U box.

The "pasive backplane" setup, is just a dummy board, that has nothing

special, just a more industrial/specialized way of using multiple
Interface cards, on a machine that does not need any other overhead.  I
am trying to build something for a production ISP environment, so I
guess scalability is a necessity.  In such a setup, if it is doable, the
only thing would be finding Multi-modem cards that are hardware-based,
or at least have drivers for Unix/Linux.
