Uh, what about us Sysops that are FTPing the mail for our users?
I've got an I-modem on order to speed up that process, and offer 56k X2
support to our BBS callers at the same time.  If your ISDN devices offered
k56flex support, that could go on node 2 to provide 56k service to the
Rockwell/Lucent based callers and downlinks also.
