Is it known at this point in time what medium ISDN will run on?  In
particular, what number of wire pairs are necessary and do they need
to be shielded or unshielded?  (Thinking about wiring decisions with
the future in mind...)

If it takes, say, 4 pairs, what function(s) do each of the pairs
perform?

Will ISDN incorporate Fax functions?  RS-232?  What else besides
voice?


Thanks in advance.
