Does this not highlight a wider issue?
I realise that dialup is hardly 'cutting edge' but there are providers out
there with a significant number of dialup customers still on the books.
Surely there's still a market for (what should be by now) a
straightforward, well known piece of kit?
In parts of the world where broadband is not ubiquitous and dialup remains
useful as a Plan-B or is simply the only choice (for whatever reason),
what are the practical choices now?
Whilst folks may not be fielding 'new' dialup kit, I dare say that we're
going to be continuing to see dialup customers on the books for the next 5
years, perhaps a lot longer? That's a whole product lifespan...
How about an Aastra CVX shelf? We used one at an ISP I used to work for
in Maine. It worked well. Dial-up was considered the cash cow then.
