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.

John: >> ISDN Thanks for the info! >> My hardware is the Datavoice PC card from SCII Telecom Paris. 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? Greg Pyros
