It sounds like some people | are just quoting rates for the ISDN line from the phone company, or | perhaps for an ISDN line plus a limited account with an ISP, whereas the | poster who quoted the $595 price was clearly talking about a 24 hour/day | dedicated ISDN line to the Internet (most likely with routing for an | entire network). Just the ISP charge for a dedicated 28.8k modem line | is typically $150/month. Around here, a dedicated 28.8k modem line to an ISP is 69-79/month. -- Michael Meissner, Cygnus Support (East Coast) Suite 105, 48 Grove Street, Somerville, MA 02144, USA meissner@cygnus.com, 617-629-3016 (office), 617-629-3010 (fax)
