Here's the cost and the reason I'm so confused. DSL Cost: Service Activation: $100.00 Max 512k: $74.95 per mo
Plus: Network Card: $69 Cross-Over Cable: $10.99 Addition Filters: $15.00 DSL modem included, but remains property of Phone Company. Monthly charges includes one Internet account, one email account, and Static IP. Filters are needed to connect the phones to the DSL line, thus allowing you place calls on the DSL line. I guess I was confused after reading this page on ISDN which has multiple chanels and thought DSL worked similar to this... ISDN info: Multiple Devices Previously, it was necessary to have a phone line for each device you wished to use simultaneously. For example, one line each was required for a telephone, fax, computer, bridge/router, and live video conference system. Transferring a file to someone while talking on the phone or seeing their live picture on a video screen would require several potentially expensive phone lines. It is possible to combine many different digital data sources and have the information routed to the proper destination. Since the line is digital, it is easier to keep the noise and interference out while combining these signals. ISDN technically refers to a specific set of digital services provided through a single, standard interface. Without ISDN, distinct interfaces are required instead.
