I Just added a dedicated customer to my network last month. I chose to use the Ascend P50 on both end. It's
a no brainer setting it up but if you dont want to go out and buy these products, the portmaster can route.
Only thing is remember the portmaster is a port server not a router. If you want something you can use
later, go the P130. So when the games are over you have a router that can do T1 as well as ISDN for future
use. Hey pay my flight, get me free tickets to the game and some spending money and I will go myself to
help you set it up :) Its about a 12 hour drive from Miami.
BTW do you mean one ip that is all, or you need to route. If all he wants is one go the ISDN BRI card fur
sure and charge him an install fee, so you and up paying less for the card.
