Analog Modems?

Used to this sort of thing all the time back when I was at JLC. For the
life of me I can't remember the name of the box we used for it though.
It was a little black box, had some DIP switches on the back that we
used to put a piece of plexi over to keep users from messing with it.
Also used a DIN plug for serial, with a non-standard wiring. Good little
boxes though, very reliable.

Only other thing I remember using was the WebRamp, which could team 3
modems together. Might be able to pick one up cheap on eBay.

Other than that, I would just use an SBC, throw FreeBSD on there and
configure pppd for dial-on-demand. Probably out of the desired price
range though.
