That would put them (I believe) in the Digital train or ISDN. As for the modeming question run that one by the other persons here as I am a lowly end-user and am trying to keep up with all that is going on in the telecom world, although some of the acronyms are enough to drive me up a punch down block. The .COMmand Center (Opus 1:5010/23) [Mooderator's Note: I believe a message earlier today indicated that the Merlin phones are not necessarily ISDN equipped. The phone has to actually say so. When you come down off the punch down block, you can look up all the telecom acronyms you ever wanted to know and then some by pulling the three glossary files from the Telecom Archives. Submitted by different sources, they have hundreds of terms to help you in understanding what you read here. (ftp lcs.mit.edu) PAT]
