| Aren't we comparing apple's and oranges here?  It sounds like some people    
| are just quoting rates for the ISDN line from the phone company, or
| perhaps for an ISDN line plus a limited account with an ISP, whereas the
| poster who quoted the $595 price was clearly talking about a 24 hour/day
| dedicated ISDN line to the Internet (most likely with routing for an 
| entire network).  Just the ISP charge for a dedicated 28.8k modem line
| is typically $150/month.

Around here, a dedicated 28.8k modem line to an ISP is 69-79/month.
