One thing I've never understood is the reason that the RBOCs use to
justify wanting to charge for the data calls. It doesn't cost
them any more to provide a data call than it does for them to provide
a voice call. Can anyone enlighten me?

-------------------------------
The RBOC's would like to blame the FCC, but I would guess the real reason is
they don't want to compete with their own switch 56 services.
You can get around the data charge by having the two location work of the same
ISDN Centrex group. They can set one up even off of different COs.
