WAS : Starspeeder NOW - ISDN Internet Access

[geraint@xxxxxxx]

Had a look at Demon, but couldn't find a package which gave 128k=20
bonded....found one using surftime for =A340 but it was only single=20
channel....they covered both lines, so you could use 2 x 64k, but not=20
1 bonded channel of 128k.

Anyone else on the group using ISDN (It Still Does Nothing), if=20
so,,,who are you using as an ISP ?

Kind Regards

Geraint.
