Recently I posted a bit of a rant fest about my frustrations with
ISDN.  I would just like to thank everyone who responded.  Nothing was
actually resolved but I understand better the cause of my
frustrations.

It would seem that I have fallen prey to the marketting gods who claim
that ISDN is here and has solved our problems.  It is indeed here (in
Japan its everywhere) but there are still problems.  I guess I was
expecting a flexible plug-and-play solution (ala analog modems).  I'm
sure that will come but it appears to be early days.  Also, perhaps I
was/am naive wrt the goals/role of ISDN.  I know what *I* want to use
it for but that does not necessarily map to other people's needs.

Anyway, thanks.  I have not lost hope but for now its not a reasonable
cost/performance deal.  I await anxiously the day when I can run a 4:1
(or better) compression scheme over dual 64kbit lines for a 512kbit/s
connection to my favorite local and not so local hosts.
