You're smoking something, Lee. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. 
:-)

I have said, like 10 times now, that SBC charges me $92 per month for TWO 
ISDN "wires".  Therefore, 1 "wire", which would include the two channels, 
would be around $45.  SBC does not meter my ISDN Line.  I can use this 
line for local phone calls, or for internet service with an ISP.  This is 
different than doing a point to point ISDN circuit to an ISP.  This is 
dual channel dial-up over ISDN, not point to point circuit directly to 
APCI.  Very different technology, and very different pricing.

So, 1+1=2, and $45 + 40 = $95.

I may be lucky, since I was set up with Ameritech prior to SBC taking 
over.  They haven't changed my pricing, however, so I'm thankful for that, 
if I'm not getting ripped off like you are.
