Hi Charles,
I agree with Andy...check into the monthly rate of ISDN in your area, that
may be the best
way to go.
A few months ago, another engineer and I bought a ISDN simulator from ARCA
Technologies. We decided upon ARCA mainly due to the fact that they have a
2 port BRI
simulator with built in NT1s. They were little more expensive than Teltone,
but the unit has worked fine.
I agree, its a hefty investment for your lab, and perhaps sharing the cost
of the simulator
may make it more affordable ?
Good luck
-Brian
