- Of course! At each end connect a pair of modems to a pair of phone
- lines, than run your favorite network and channel aggregation protocols
- (say, IP and MP/PPP) over this basic setup. There are dial-up routers
- out there which will happily bond together all kinds of channels (ISDN B
- ch., modem lines, ...) on demand. The Telebit Netblazer comes to mind,
- and I'm fairly sure Cisco etc have this functionality in some of their
- products, too.

- Around here POTS and ISDN calls (irrespective of voice/data/etc) have
- exactly the same metered cost.
