Alternative Connections - ISDN

[Jim Herrmann]

I have an ISDN modem that I would give away to anyone that wants it.  
And no, there is no 3 mile limit like DSL.  They double the voltage on 
your regular line, and it only requires one twisted pair to have the two 
ISDN channels, IIRC.  It was surely expensive as he11.  We were able to 
have a regular POTS line in addition to the ISDN coming in on the one 
pair of twisted pairs that come into our house.
