Hold not thy breath over the "reasonable rates" part. Most residential users don't need ISDN, and the phone companies tend to be under a fair bit of pressure to make as much money as possible off other services to keep the residential rates low. IDSN will be a "premium", "business" service, and will be priced accordingly. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,decvax,pyramid}!utzoo!henry
