	A CT-1 (Channelized T-1) has 24 56K channels, whereas PRI's
	have 23 64K channels and 1 D 16/64K (Signalling) Channel

	This is not true.  You can use DOV (data-over-voice) to connect
	ISDN calls into your CT-1.

	If PRI's are cheaper...buy all means get a PRI.  As meantioned
	earlier, there are quite a few added benefits to running PRI's
	instead of CT-1's.  However, this is way off topic for this
	list.  Look for more info on some ISP lists.
