An ISDN line is coming in (only a couple months after I placed the order!)
and I am still at sea about choice of devices. Some questions follow:
1. Should I have posted to freebsd-isdn rather than questions?
2. Is a packaged EthernetHub/TA (or whatever it's called) cost/effective?
3. My ISP charges over $100/month for ISDN (single B channel) access,
more of course if I try for 128Kbps. And BellAtlantic charges
$0.0016/minute (yes, they say 0.16 cents/min.) for B channel use.
So is a TA with an analog port used with a cheap V.90 modem a
good idea? My $20/month covers email and personal webspace as
well as modem access, V.90 included. The ISP says no, they don't
recognize DOSBS, which at least would be end-to-end digital.
4. Finally, is there an ISDN device which can mimic a V.90 modem
as another way to avoid the excessive B-channel charges?
Thanks for (past) help on many subjects..TIA for this one :-}
