Wyatt: are you contractually/organizationally able to charge a "legacy support fee" to sites that will not change to IP connectivity? Once the beancounters see say an extra $30/mo fee they will make upgrades happen.
They've been trying to do that for years, but the remote sites aren't under their control and there are legacy protocols involved.
I'd look at Digi or Moxa or Perle or Lantronix for a drop-in replacement. These companies typically all measure product support cycles in decades, not months.

What happens is when a connection is received on the modem line, the cisco router initiates an IP connection to an internal server and forwards the data from the serial line to the server. We're looking to move that Serial to IP functionality over to a Linux server so we can retire the EOL routers. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Also if anyone has any good resources for modem connectivity with linux they can forward me I'd appreciate it.--Wyatt Zacharias
