USR says they will make x2 firmware available to new purchasers of their modem lines, sometime in Jan. or Feb. Assuming that you seek out an ISP that uses USR modems for dialups, this could move you up to 56K. On the other hand, Bell Atlantic is thrashing the ISDN waters pretty hard. They are now waiving the $125 installation charge. This could put you in a position where you could 1. find an ISP that would or could execute the ISDN dialup to your Web site for inbound calls (seems unlikely), or 2. plunge ahead and get the centrex ISDN. Maybe BellAtl has a pop reasonably close-by, and your mileage charges for centrex may be acceptable.
