Re: What is ISDN??
From the FAQ.
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a digital telephone connection that provides two digital phone lines capable of carrying voice, data, or a combination of the two. Each digital channel can support 64kbps (56kbps on some systems) of bi-directional data and the two channels of an ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) line can be combined together to produce speeds of up to 128kbps.
ISDN phone lines are all digital which results in cleaner, error-free, and reliable data transmission. Analog phone lines used by modems are subject to data errors caused by line noise and other numerous transmission interruptions. An ISDN modem will dial and connect much faster than an analog modem. Many times it can dial, connect, be authenticated and online in less than 5 seconds.
