>From your address it seems like you're dealing with Southwestern Bell,
which comes in dead last among the RBOCs (perhaps ahead of GTE, the
largest local carrier in the US) in ISDN deployment. They're really
missing the boat. While there are plenty of good business applications
for ISDN, the best potential volume market is residential. Here in
Massachusetts, NYNEX makes it available for residence and business.
Just pay $8 more per month than an analog line, any normal service
option, and it's ISDN. I think a fair amount of interest has developed
here within the past year, as deployment begins to spread.
