From that comment, I don't know if you're agreeing with me or not. Certainly the part you quote didn't come across well: what I was trying to say was Some people say "the bottleneck is the B channel, so using async as well doesn't add any further load". I'll stick to that. Using async to connect to an ISDN B channel is a dinosaur. Greg
