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.
