A few questions about ISDN:

1. Is is feasible/not feasible to use ISDN as a link in an IP or Ethernet
   network?

2. Is ISDN a worldwide standard, or another one of them "we decide what we
   want" USA standards?

3. Does the 64 kbit/s B-channel rate over ISDN include error correction?

4. Does the D-channel protocol include service identification (say IP,
   video, voice, modem)...?

5. Is is possible to call a POTS line with a modem from an ISDN connection?

6. What are typical rates for ISDN?  Is it billed per minute or per block?
