ISDN and Linux?

[Gregory J.Neumann]

Thanks for all the ummm ... encouragement? [thanks, Darin! Cheered me 
right up! ;-)]  

Richard, there are actually products very similar to the LinkSys for 
ISDN, so you pointed me in the right direction!  

"Smiling Ron", read on, 'cause ISDN, >IF< it works, is the ONLY solution 
out here in "Techno-Devoido-Land"!

Yeah, I should have been more specific:  Adelphia wants $1000 a pole and 
the estimate is @40 poles.  We are "beyond the Pale" as far as DSL goes,  
So ...  as I said, the BITTER end ...

What are the specs on that modem?  We may very well end up w/ this ISDN, 
horror stories and all.  And from Verizon, I've got some horror stories 
unrelated to on-line access, too! 8-O
