I have a bitsurfr ISDN modem....I was never told when i was looking for an ISDN modem that the bitsurfr would not bond both channel. You have to have the bitsurfr PRO to go a full 128k The bitsurfr only does 64k. It's a great modem. Never have i had a better modem, but if you want a full 128k YOU MUST have the PRO!
