Residental ISDN?
You have to be kidding!
Was it actually on the residential rate schedule? I gather that was
a non-tariffed service? That never made it out anywhere around here.

About the only thing that Gore managed to actually do in Tennessee was get
Residential ISDN handled the same as a standard analog circuit.. The equipment
was pricey, but other than that, it was the same price as any other
residential loop. In Florida? Priced -above- the roof. Way over it. When I
asked for ISDN, I got told the circuit would be something like $118 a month,
plus $.10 per minute while it was "off the hook".. plus so many cents per
operation on the control circuit. (Pick up and dial, another $.10..that sort
of thing.) - If you used both channels, double the per minute rate. In short,
a huge ripoff.. (And they also jacked up the long distance rates through the
roof as well.)

I dunno, but I'd sure like to be able to order 48F burglar alarm circuits
from the telco again. Now THAT was a cheap way of doing remote work. And
sometimes it even sounded good.

Same - given a bit of inspiration, a friend down there ended up have a
monitoring circuit from his house to his ISP. Instant T1...
