Pentesting Cisco 3640 devices via dialup ?

Hi all,

Sorry to bother you with this quite basic question. I am pretty new to pen-
testing Remote Accss servers.

I am due to start a massive pen-testing project in two weeks, a small part of 
the project requires pen-testing of Cisco 3640 devices over dialup.

I am looking for some assistance in how to brute force usernames / passwords 
over dialup.

From what I know so far, by default Cisco devices will disconnect a user from a 
dialup session after 3 unsucessfull authentication attempts, which means I need 
to manually re-iniate the dialup connection every 50-60 seconds. I feel this 
will be infeasable due to the time required to crack a single password.

Could anyone suggest a way to automate this. Or could anyone who has pen-tested 
RAS servers over dialup specify an alternative method.

Any help what-so-ever is very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
