I have been with UUNET since last yr and am very happy with their level of service and support. I started out ISDN also and indeed did get the same information as you did. But I fixed it on my end. What I did? I set up the Ascend Pipeline 50 to dial one line right after dialing the other. So it dials connection 1 and then immediately dials connection 2. The end result of that is that I always got a 128k connection without fail or flaw. The reason they told me that they couldn't guarantee me a 128k connection is that the dialup lines and the dedicated lines are one in the same as far as the ascend max routers are concerned. Their software (on the routers) randomly selected connections to routers based on which max you connected to when you originated your connection. This in theory could mean that you dialed max 1 to connect your first line and then because there were no more available lines on max 1, you were rolled over to max2 for the second line. They have a 'hunt group' meaning a rotary on their isdn lines coming into the routers. I only found this a little hard to deal with at first, but have been everything but happy ever since. If you think UUNET is bad, you really ought to look into some of the other smaller providers and see how they handle their ISDN. I couldn't be more happy with them now as I was when I switched over to them. >- dave
