I guess that digital would imply that it can be used for computers. There are two types of Merlin systems. One is analog (Plus) and the other is digital (Merlin II). The Merlin II can be used for asynch. transmission. I'm not a sales rep or even an expert on Merlin. Talk to a knowledgable AT&T sales rep for the full scoop on data connectivity with a Merlin II.
