Also, > is ISDN fast enough for real-time video? A fairly good aricle describing ISDN and the various Acronyms associated with ISDN can be found in the March 1 issue of EDN. The only major omission in the article (warning - a commercial is coming) was leaving out Motorola as a source of ISDN IC's in the list near the end of the article (pages 80-88). Of course you can also wade through the CCITT, ANSI, and BELLCORE documents to get the actual specs for this service. << Usual Disclaimer >> Phil Weinberg @ Motorola Semiconductor, Sunnyvale, CA 94086-5395 UUCP: {hplabs, mot,} !mcdcup!phil or phil@sjc.mcd.mot.com Telephone: +1 408-991-7385
