We have the following scenario:

We are serving 2 counties, one is local, and the other is considered long
distance. We have a bank of modem hooked into our local phone lines right
now. We don't have the other county hooked in yet, but our TelCo. rep 
suggests having a 23 line ISDN line run from the Long distance county to
ours. He claims the we can then have the ISDN then run right into the
server and bypass the modems, originall we thought maybe the Riscom Board
would serve the purpose, but SDL tells us that it can't. My idea is that
you can't go the ISDN route without an ISDN router and then a bank of 
modems, but perhaps I am wrong. Anyone have any suggestions???

Thanks in advance.

James
