yep, that's for modem (33.6 or 56K). Dunno if you can get
several modem links and MPPP?
For ISDN it's $1000 install (barring any "specials"), same
rate per Mb. The problem with ISDN is:
1) time charged calls
2) very expensive line costs
Even an onramp2 and the xpress plan is still a few hundred $$
per month just in line charges then there's internet charges
on top of that.
PS. I thought there was a cable "business" plan that gave you
a static IP (from telstra and optus was "coming soon").
