What you will need
--------------------
Your computer must have a V.32bis modem and connected to a standard telephone line, or an ISDN TA (possibly integrated into a bus-based card) and an ISDN BRI (phone line).

ISDN Please!
-------------
PSI is installing thousands of ISDN ports throughout 1995. With fully digital 64 Kbps performance (minimally) and remote diagnostics and integration that no analog modem can touch, ISDN is the future of Internet dialup access! With the ability to bond two 64 Kbps channels and compression, personal ISDN access will be even more powerful.
