[Poll] Interesting ways to dispose of your modem once adsl is activated

As per topic - assuming you don't need it for fax comms of course.

Any ideas ????. Would prefer expereinces from real life though

I just brought it to work. Where I use it to establish external connectivity
from outside firewall boundaries, to test some stuff "as if experienced by a
user". (For those unhappy chaps who cannot yet have broadband.)

You don't, you keep hold of it for the times (hopefully rare) when
your ADSL goes down.

Andrew.

would advise you to keep it for a backup.

If you worked for my company and I found out you were putting a modem on the
network I'd fry your balls.

Use a modem simulator like Sloppy if you want to do that sort of thing:

Plus a much better use for it is to use as backup when your ADSL is offline.
Most ISP on ADSL need to use BT lines and they go down whenever BT
do line work, or when things fail in their system.

Wonder why he assumed that the OP was going to put it on a network
machine or that he didn't have the right to reconfigure his network?
