- Hmm. Ameritech (I believe it's aka Indiana Bell) is (or at least
- was) offering ISDN service for $300 startup (included a BitSURFer)
- and ~$30-$40 a month - about the same price as 2 regular phone lines.
- I couldn't get any answer as to how I could just get ISDN service
- alone (to reduce startup charge, and get my own ISDN modem).
- It should be on their web page, http://www.ameritech.com
