Cliff, the problem of small business in data networking is no network,
no standards, and no-one to help with the problems of networking.
ISDN could help with that.  Also, the additional speed would be
immediately useful for fax.

The six times figure is correct -- you're comparing V.32 with data
compression with ISDN without data compression.  As far as I know,
without compression V.32 only goes 9600 bps.  Conversely, if
comparable compression techniques are used with ISDN, you get data
rates in the 100Kbps - 200Kbps range.
