Summary: seeking brief ISDN explanation


I'm looking for a discussion of ISDN, on about the technical level of IEEE
Spectrum or CACM.  I'm especially interested in how it affects user
interface.  For example, now that DTMF is not used for signalling (the D
channel handles that) can I be sure I'll be able to control e.g. my home
answering machine remotely?  Now I *don't* want someone to answer
this quesion, nor do I want to read the Specifications (which are surely
overkill):  what I want are pointers to decent summaries, even up
to book length.
