My customer has starting implementing the MCC architecture throughout
their facility. He is currently needing to purchase some modems for
his wide-area links and is wanting some advice. He would like to know
who has modems that can be managed from MCC and which modem vendor's
architecture is most closely alligned with the future of MCC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One more thing,
this customer is also wanting the ability to do non-destructive testing
on his network links. This is an ability that IBM has on their modems
and he would like the same capabilities here within MCC.

IBM modems are really nice in the way they can go into nondistructive
test, and can provide a "quality" attribute. The modems are actually
SNA entities, and listen to the datastream thru them to pick up any SNA
management commands. Modem vendors such as Codex have talked about
putting an IP or OSI stack in their modems, to allow SNMP or CMIP
management, but I have not seen any announcements to that effect. If
you can find a vendor going that direction - that would be the best one
to select. Putting in a SNA network so you know your modems are
working is NOT the right approach. Another approach which would take
engineering effort would be to add an agent in a current modem vendor's
management system (using common agent perhaps) and then doing some
manager to manager management.
