No idea.
I never got into ISDN. It was too expensive until after DSL and cable
came in.

I can get 1800 kbps down / 256k up for $50 a month with cable. And a
friend with DSL gets 256k up/down (and a static IP) for something
similar, and ISDN gives at best 128k up/down for a similar (if not
higher) price.

Given this, and the fact that to get that 128k with ISDN, you tie up
both the voice lines associated with it, ISDSN isn't all that
attractive.
