Don't know what you need in terms of bandwidth, but in the Pentagon we have
installed ISDN lines in packages. If you limit yourself to two B channels and
a D channel (a BRI combination), you get 128 K bandwidth with each package.
The cost goes up with each package. What you pay depends on your location and
its provider. Theoretically, you should be able to install four packages to
operate up to 512K bandwidth at much less than a full T1 line. You can also
get a PRI (Primary Rate Interface) which has 28 B channels if you need more
bandwidth, but want less than T1. Again the cost is between several BRI
packages and the full T1 cost.
