   Thanks for that info and the same for every one else who has responded.   
      
      
   After a (little) research it seems it is NOT a cheap option and in any event    
   my ISP does not offer any   
   support - well it will cost them revenue.   
      
   So it is looking like a good idea but involves a lot of outlay without saving    
   money unless you are a   
   large business - and I am not just retired trying to same it (money that is).   
      
      
   So no changes in more or less 20 years, when I was using ISDN/2.
