Of course!

Actually, two wires, but that's trivial <g>. Phone lines come in pairs.

In any case, you have service that is not sold on this side of the river! 
In MO, 2B = 1 pair = $90/month for 24/7, $60/month for 40 hours, $40/month 
for 20 hours.

Of course, if you have the proper equipment. There are many router issues 
however support calling features.

To my knowlege (from the late 90s when we were using ISDN always-up), 
SWBell does not sell point-to-point ISDN, only PRI (ISDN T1).

OK, that makes sense. If you're getting a unrestricted 2B+D for that price.

I expect that IS the case! SWBell does not change rates once you are 
installed, .. it would be interesting to know what the rate would be now.
