Academic debate really then, if you can't actually get it!

The 0800 service I use from BT internet, allows ISDN access to the 0800
number at 64K ONLY, - they do not allow 128K connections. However, that
said, you could potentially get round that by making 2 seperate 64K
connections with multipoint PPP to aggregate them at your end - but that
would involve 2 logons to BT's service, which they might pick up on and
moan
about?

No, don't know.

No problem, - they are only concerned with your house phone wiring. they
will not care about what you do with the digital ports.
