For a long time I used an V.90 through my Addtran XRT ISDN modem. I had the same problem you did, ISDN access was to expensive, $60/month. What I figured out though is that many of the local places can't limit the connection down to 56k with their digital solutions. So I'm currently dialing out into a standard $19.95/month dial-up account, and it works great. :) Rick ---- "Religion exists because man can't belive that he's nothing more then a random accident." http://www.grendal.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
