Re: ISDN 64K vs 128K and ISPs

["alexpd" <alexpd@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

As far as I know there are no surftime isps that support bonded
connections.
However I would expect tha the cost of a bonded connection is only 1
additional cost per unit ( IE first 64K free with 2nd 64K charged as a
connection).

I am using Home Highway connected to my main machine running win98 using a
BT Speedway PCI ISDN card. I am then using Microsofts built in distributed
Internet services from the main system t allow the Other PC's in the house
to connect out.

Regards

Alex
