Geoff:

You're absolutely correct...this isn't true.  Any application that 
requests external TCP/IP services will automatically initiate an 
Internet connection through a dialup ISDN connection.  This applies for
external ISDN TAs like the BitSURFR Pro or external routers like the
Ascend Px-25.  

Same as a regular modem connection....just a heck of a lot faster 
connecting (normally 3-5 secs) and transferring data.

Best Regards,

Brad
