Let me preface my comments below with this disclaimer: I don't have anything to do with or any particular fondness for any telco. There, I said it. Now out with the compliments: I keep being told this, but those of us in BellSouth area must have lucked out. It seems that our ISDN folks are quite knowledgeable, even the phone operators seem to have a good knowledge of ISDN and related technologies themselves. At any rate, assume they know nothing (as I did) and either be correct or pleasantly surprised ;) ===================================================== Dan Benjamin dan@void.net President / SysAdmin The Void / Init http://www.init.org/ http://www.void.net/ =====================================================
