PacBell has a residential tariff for ISDN in California that has been
available since about April of this year(93). Local calls are NOT
free but the per month charge is less. However with a business ISDN
line you can get them as part of a centrex with means that all of the
calls with the centrex are free. The centrex works really well for
everyone who lives close to work. In fact, when we had PacBell make
some changes to the setup of our lines, they had to call us back to
schedule some downtime since our lines were up nearly 24 hours per
day.
