said by patcat88 :IDSN is a phone line, you can dial anyone you want and have a voice conversation with them, therefore you need to have local/long distence/etc on it, even if all you do is call one number (the ISP). For sure, but keep in mind......... It is a phone line, but it is a special phone line and therefore requires special equipment.
ISDN uses the same copper pair that already goes to your house. The equipment at either end (phone company and you) is different. When we talk about routers, most have the ability to do dialup for internet as well as convert the ISDN into two POTS (plain old telephone system) so that you can plug your regular phones into it and use them for voice. |
