(ASCEND) Proctive dial-in monitoring

[MMedwid@symantec.com (Michael Medwid)]

     We have nearly 20 Maxes deployed all over the globe for RAS, ISDN and 
     video conferencing.  One of our directors is proposing that we deploy 
     a system for assuring availability on the dial-in side of things.  He 
     envisions a box which dials each Max hourly and sends a page (or smoke 
     signal or whatever) in the event that a PPP session is unable to be 
     established. 
     
     Naturally I recoil at this kind of suggestion.  But I was wondering 
     what kinds of management techniques Ascend admins are using to assure 
     dial-up availability.  That is..other than waiting for the dreaded 
     nasty phone call from the executive in Hong Kong who can't retrieve 
     his e-mail.  
     
     Thoughts?  Suggestions?  Real Life Experiences? 
     
     
     Thanks.
