Hi Kara,

Could we please simplify matters? It is of no use to anyone to discuss 
pricing on TWO ISDN lines, .. please, let's only compare costs on ONE line. 
That is what somebody would be ordering, .. that fact that you have two is 
confusing, *especially* when a normal ISDN line comes with two bearer channels.

If you're getting ONE ISDN line, 2B+D, for $45/month, you are getting it 
for about half the rate that SWBell quotes in Missouri, for some reason or 
another. It would be interesting to know if new service in your area would 
be quoted the same rate.
