First of all, pardon my language. I was drunk last night. Wife's B'Day.

If the customer is going to spend the money on isdn, then he/she is
going to get an isdn isp, dont you think? Unless the isp makes it cost
prohibitive to get isdn.

Okay so you test on a pots and you get higher rates. Most people taking
advantage of 56k technology arent going to call in on a pots line.

Well I dont mean to offend or start an argument (more of a debate)
I guess I jump too fast on you guys. Its just that HERE, MOST isp's offer
isdn and MOST at the same price or only a little more than analog.
Primarily because a B channel in Houston is $19.50/mo on a PRI.

I dont think there are 100 ;-). I suppose my point should be, there is no
reason why we are still using 100 year old technology when its been
reinvented and improved years ago.
I, as a Livingston user and supporter, try to push isdn as much as I can.
If it is cost prohibitive in your area, then its time to contact the local
puc's, or seek competitive alternatives.
