whoa. my experience is completely the oposite. (in BA/verizon country, in pittsburgh PA.)
i love my dedicated ISDN clients! we have about 15 or so still left, and their connections are rock solid! in my 3 years of managing the dedicated access customers, i've probably dealt with less than 10 instances of real trouble with those lines. (ie: not solved by resynching the isdn routers, but requiring calling in a bell tech.)
That's because ISDN is really just "telephone service".... Sure, there's buzz not dialtone on the pair. But it is one pair (BRI), and it goes to a line card on a switch. Your call drops; BFD, call back. No VPI/XYZ's etc. No NoNuts (now Verizontal North) could never get POTS working, either. So I'd be unshocked iffen they have ISDN grief. And Verizontal South (old See & Pee) has LOTS of it since ISDN Centrex is big with them, VERY big. -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
