The MAP is a secure dialup device that can be used to access the customers IP network Via dial-up-networking.
Very secure, but slow as molasses.

There are other Apps that I've heard of but never used.
I've only had 2 customers that required them. One was a bank with High security requirements for remote access, and the other likes to have redundant disaster recovery methods.
If your customers allow remote access vie PPP or VPN or some such flavour, then the MAP is excess baggage.

Yes it can pass alarms but in my experience the systems with MAP's have Enterprise Manager that is much better at alarm notification.

well, you have two options
1. You give out IP addresses of all the IPT equipments to the remote support engineer, who can access your equipment from anywhere. A bit risky! bearing in mind there are many IPT devices e.g. EM, Teleworker Server, 3300 switch
2. You setup MAP, define all your IPT equipment in there, Remote engineer VPNs to the MAP and gets secure access to your equipment. This way engineer cannot hit your network.
If you are a big organisation, then you should go for option 2.
hope it makes sense.
