Re: I need an ISDN briefing
one of the most important parts of ISDN is the TA you choose. Most of the features are TA dependent. There are 2 64K channels and 1 negotiating channel or something that can also pass data for a total of perhaps 132K. Its a digital connection so it does "dial" but the connection is instant.
ISDN technology is essentially the same as DSL. I am surprised they will offer ISDN but not DSL. Even if its dog slow DSL.
ISDN is same speed up and down. You get 2 phone lines with it typically with all calling features.
Last time I had it, the ISP only cost me $15 per month. It was the same price as dialup. NOt sure what they are trying to squeeze out of you these days. I think there is a national network of ISDN TAs you can dial into because when I would change from 1 ISP to another, sometimes the phone numbers would end up being the same, but just a different log in id. Its very much like dialup in that respect.
