I would *HIGHLY* recommend this.
Being a small ISP - 6 months old and 120 dialups we had one PM2ER, which
due to a massive electrical fault (in supply, not the PM) blew the unit
to hell. Electrical outage lasted 24 hours so it was only the next day
that I found out the 2ER wouldn't work... 3-4 hours on the phone with
Livingston US (I am in Ireland), and they declared it dead. Also being
8 hours ahead of the US ment I couldn't get another until the next day...
Next day, and TNT get me a same day delivery of a ORLS... Total downtime
3 days.... Yech. A friendly competitor locally took a copy of our radius
file and I arranged for the phone company to redirect all calls to them
relieved the dialup pressure. Im still without dialup ability...
Moral? Don't have a 2E and an R in the same box unless you have good
backup measures....
Paul, learning his lesson, Gregg.

PS. Livingston support were great, so I can't fault them at all, not
can I fault the HW...
