Greg,
>>We're getting a full ISDN connection – all three channels, 112k speed, stand
back, its smoking! :^)>>
It's the way to go but it's not easy. I have just installed but there are not
many folk I can connect with yet. It is good on the Net but not many providers
give ISDN access to single users. Compuserve must be thinking about it – I
hope.
Watch out for hardware compatibility – (what else) and international protocol
variables. UK is 64 kbits/s per channel so rate adoption is needed to connect
to US.
The average file transfer – uncomressed – is about 1 megabyte a minute though.
It is only just over a year ago that it was taking me a hour to download that
through Compuserve.
Let me know when you get connect and maybe we can do a few transatlantic tests.
My hardware is the Datavoice PC card from SCII Telecom Paris. Very good, they
have agents in US.

I have heard of them. We will be connecting through our Internet gateway, a
Sun SparcStation, so that probably won't work, but I'll keep an eye out for
them!
>> CIS
I don't know if CIS will ever support ISDN, but our Internet provider does at
the same cost as a modem! How can I refuse?

Hello Gregory,
Would you care to share info on your Internet provider? Are they a
commercial service available to the masses?
Thanks Bruce
