I'm considering asking my supervisor for a perk rather than a pay raise, in the form of upgrading my 28.8 dedicated link to the office to an ISDN line, with a FreeBSD box on both ends. It'd cost me $500/month to get that from an ISP, but they can afford the bandwidth, so it would be purely a matter of line cost ($40 a month on each end plus hardware). Not that I really need more bandwidth at home, but who doesn't want it? Naturally, if the cost is $700+ on each end for ISDN routers, it isn't going to happen. Of course, at 115K async, it would only be a 50% improvement over 64K, so I'd like to find a way to use all the bandwidth as well, which the Bitsurfer pro will only do with a sync interface.
