Re: SBC-Yahoo Dial! - ISDN ISP
In answer to your questions:
- Like other national ISP's, I don't think SBC-Yahoo Dial! provides static IP's.
- I'm not entirely sure of their definition of "unlimited use", but I believe they kick you off after 8 hours of use. I don't know how quickly they kick you off for no activity, since my router disconnects after 15 minutes.
- I don't know how many POPs outside of my area support 128k ISDN, but for what it is worth, the support person I spoke with, after checking with someone else, told me that they support 128k ISDN. This conversation was not specific to my location, so I suspect they support ISDN (or at least it works) nationally.
- I have had no problems connecting with both channels at 128k, except for the very rare dropped second channel. I would say it has happened twice in the last month. |

| By unlimited I guess I was talking about total hours per month. Do they mean unlimited as in 150 hours a month or unlimited in 744 hours a month (24 hours x 31 days)? I don't advocate using a dialup connection as a permanent connection.
Did you have to ask for anything special to get ISDN service or did you just sign up for the normal service?

| Brawney:
To my knowledge, SBC-Yahoo Dial! does not have any monthly hourly limit--it is "unlimited" in that sense.
No, I didn't have to do anything different for ISDN when registering. I just signed up online, which gave me internet access by ISDN or otherwise. I then had to find the web page to complete the registration for the Yahoo features, which wasn't easy, since the support people didn't seem to know about it.
