Call your local Public Utilities Commission... they will be able to tell you if you can get it or not. ISDN is a service that destroys a very profitable frame-relay data business for a lot of regional Bell companies, so unless they are very high-tech, they'd rather not provide you, or anyone else, with the service. Although better data solutions are coming, they won't be available in the US mass market for a number of years. ISDN is available NOW to lots of folks... and it beats the heck out of any analog solution. Check out Dan Kegel's ISDN page, for all the information you can eat, and more! http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~dank/isdn/ Good luck! By the way, who is your phone company?
