I have done so (see below), but when I authenticate as user "callback"

the router tries to call back on line 33 (modem1). The same line that was

used for dialing in. Only when I authenticate as user "cb", who has

the "callback-line" specified it will use line 34 (modem2).

What I am looking for is a way to make the router always choose modem2

for calling back.

Here are the relevant parts of my running-config:

username callback callback-dialstring 3120 password 7 callback

username cb callback-dialstring 3120 callback-line 34 password 7 cb

interface Group-Async1

This is because you configured a dialer rotary group and the router tries to call out on the first available line in a rotary group.

Remove the dialer interface and the dialer rotary-group 1 from the 2 group-async interfaces, put the 2 async lines in one Group-async interface.

One of the lines will be configured with modem dialin and the other with modem inout.

I think this will do the trick.

I am afraid not. I have tried your suggestions, see below, but when

I login as "callback" the callback is still initiated on line 33. With "debug modem" and "debug callback" I get the following:

*Mar 5 18:38:58: TTY33: DSR came up

*Mar 5 18:38:58: tty33: Modem: IDLE->(unknown)

*Mar 5 18:38:58: TTY33: EXEC creation

*Mar 5 18:38:58: TTY33: set timer type 10, 30 seconds

*Mar 5 18:39:06: TTY33: set timer type 10, 30 seconds

*Mar 5 18:39:50: TTY33 Callback process initiated, user: callback dialstring 3120

*Mar 5 18:39:58: TTY33 Callback forced wait = 30 seconds

*Mar 5 18:39:59: TTY33: DSR was dropped

*Mar 5 18:39:59: TTY33: Quickly dropping DTR

*Mar 5 18:39:59: tty33: Modem: READY->HASPROC

*Mar 5 18:39:59: TTY33 Callback process fail - modemcheck status=80010601

*Mar 5 18:39:59: TTY33: Line reset by "Callback Process"

*Mar 5 18:39:59: TTY33: Modem: HASPROC->HANGUP

*Mar 5 18:39:59: TTY33: destroy timer type 0

*Mar 5 18:39:59: TTY33: destroy timer type 1

*Mar 5 18:39:59: TTY33: destroy timer type 3

*Mar 5 18:39:59: TTY33: destroy timer type 4

*Mar 5 18:39:59: TTY33: destroy timer type 2

*Mar 5 18:40:00: TTY33: dropping DTR, hanging up

*Mar 5 18:40:00: tty33: Modem: HANGUP->IDLE

*Mar 5 18:40:05: TTY33: restoring DTR

*Mar 5 18:40:06: TTY33: autoconfigure probe started

It seems to me it tries line 33 for callback and then notices that it

is configured for dialin only.

Here is the running-config:

username callback callback-dialstring 3120 password 7 callback

username cb callback-dialstring 3120 callback-line 34 password 7 cb

chat-script offhook "" "ATH1" OK

I did a test yesterday in my lab, and the result was the same like yours.

If your call is answered by line 1, the callback will be placed using the same line.

If the call is answered by line 2, then the callback will be placed using line 1, specified by username callback-line command.

I think this is either a bug or a feature.

As an workaround, if you want users calling into a line and the callback goung out the second line, give the users the phone number of the second line or swap lines.
