True. >ISDN doesn't generally do compression. :-) ISDN itself offers none, but the Pipeline 50's at least do, they use MPPP which supports STAC data compress on the entire link. I don't know how wide spread that is supported by other ISDN devices though. This idea of multible modems might be something I'll look into one day ifthe office decides they want a bigger link to the net than they have now (a 28.8K one), since ISDN is not available at the our current office location. (Oddly, it WAS available at my house, so all the companies I-net servers are here.) James Robertson Treetop Internet Services
