True. Ziplink, the ISP in Lowell, at one time had a very extensive set of web pages on ISDN and how to order it. ISDN (for consumer use) is broken up into 3 channels: 2 are 64K and the third is for control. You can bind the 2 64K channels into one for an effective 128K. DOVB, I think, is limited to 56K, but it is a digital bidirectional 56K where you analog 56K is never going to be above 50 (on a dialup), and it's assymetrical. Before you order ISDN, check with the ISP on their recommendations. When ordering ISDN, the phone company used to be clueless.
