Both the UofM and MSU have been working with ISDN. Merit can use it, but
we don't at this time. There are really two somewhat different possible
uses to think about. One is just a higher speed replacement for
single user dial-in using a regular analog phone line and modem. The
other is to replace the use of a leased data circuit for a LAN connection.
In Michigan for a local ISDN data call you pay a connect time charge of
something like $1 an hour. If you have too many hours that makes
ISDN less attractive than a leased 56K data circuit which you can get
for about $166 a month or less on a long term comittment. For individual
dial-in the ISDN equipment is expensive compared to a modem since
today the cost is about $1000. That cost is likely to come down and
ISDN might be attractive for single user dial-in applications as long
as you don't have too many hours so the per hour charge isn't too high.
