As Ramp Network engineers tried to troubleshoot this problem remotely, I connected via a different telephone number using the same account information. I had previously configured WebRamp to use the same number to establish the connection for both accounts. This time authentication succeeded, but the engineers couldn't explain why. It can shave capital and operating costs by sharing out Internet accounts, modems and phone lines. The firmware is upgradeable via the Trivial File Transfer Protocol.
Authentication based on the Password Authentication Protocol provides a basic firewall.
The system is reasonably scalable and has close to foolproof networking. My only criticism is that modems connected to the WebRamp box can access only PPP online services. You can't dial up, say, electronic bulletin board systems as you can with a modem pool. All rights reserved.
