From the Author
Guide to ISDN capabilities and use for Internet accessThis book was written for people who are exploring the use of high-speed data lines, specifically ISDN, for access to the Internet. It presents the technical capabilities of ISDN as well as the types of resources (equipment, ISPs, phone line providers, ...) to allow the reader to make decisions as to what they may want, in terms of features and associated requirements, to make effective use of ISDN for Internet access.
This book is not a "cookbook" and, if such is desired, other books (such as "Using ISDN" published by QUE) will serve your needs better. However, if what you want is information that can help you to understand the buzzwords and marketing hype, and make an informed decision on possible use and purchases, this book was written for you.
