This paper describes a low cost remote LAN access to public wide area data networks, and problems arising using ISDN technology. So far mainly modem connections at serial lines with a terminal port have been the standard remote access. ISDN is viewed to replace such modem lines. This is mainly due to the fact that ISDN offers a more adequate bandwidth and a more consistent access and embedding. The paper shows in its main part a router-based solution for enhanced call management. The main advantages are a separation of strategy modules which define the behaviour and thus allows for a number of active connections that exceeds the number of ports installed, or addresses traffic and access control in the network environment.
