Robert, generally I agree with your list of ISDN stumbling blocks; I
think the APIs are less of block than apparent -- we have enough APIs
to get started with.

As for the problem of tariffs and ISDN switch connectivity -- these
are problems with potential political solutions.  If we users get
together and lobby the telephone companies and public utilities
commissions for them, we can probably persuade them to offer the
services.  Do you know if the telcos have ever actually applied for
non-Centrex tariffs, Robert?  In California I have the impression they
have not.
