A PRI is not used for data connectivity, so if your wanting to use it to hook to the Internet, a PRI is not the way to go. I'm guessing that your attempting to either: a) plug a phone system into Sprint's long distance or local voice service or b) plug a voice line into a NAS to provide dialup support. In this case, a PRI is preferable because you will get clearer phone calls as well as callerID information, and with most NAS's it's the only way to support 56K modem calls as well as ISDN calls. In many jurisdictions PRI's are also cheaper. But, your NAS or phone system must support it.
