- Well, tones are a little different with ISDN. The D-channel is a
- message based signaling channel, and as such does not carry analog
- tones. In their place are message elements (SIGNAL) which tell the
- ISDN set or TA which tones to generate and when.
-
- However, there is a message element (PROGRESS, and sometimes it is
- a message) which tells the CPE to cut through the B-channel when
- one of those network generated audio messages is on the channel.
-
- Bob.
