RE: Re: Life After ADSL!!!

["Mark Hetherington" <mark.egroups@xxxxxxx>]

OK.

As I said it was IIRC rather than a factual statement. In any case, I guess
BT's original info was duff since my original enquiry resulted in an
information pack describing HH as ISDN2e while their standard line at the
time was merely described as ISDN. I had HH installed a few days after
launch but noone I spoke to prior to install could describe the difference
between HH and standard ISDN. Since it was installed, I never had cause to
investigate further.

But one thing that BT still do claim is that HH has "Full European
ETSI
compliant ISDN protocol". Not sure if that has any bearing on your
definition of the 'e' suffix or if you refer to something else by
"Euro
Compatible Signalling".
