[Ed....Re: IDSL definition]

From "whatis.com" .........

"IDSL (ISDN Digital Subscriber Line)

IDSL is a system in which digital data is transmitted at 128 Kbps on a regular copper telephone line (twisted pair)
from a user to a destination using digital (rather than analog or voice transmission), bypassing the telephone
company's central office equipment that handles analog signals. IDSL uses the Integrated Services Digital
Network (ISDN) BRI transmission code.

IDSL is a technology developed by Ascend Communications. IDSL is only one possible technology in the Digital
Subscriber Line approach (of which Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line or ADSL is best known) and an expedient
approach that allows use of existing ISDN card technology for data-only use.

The differences between IDSL and ISDN are:

ISDN passes through the phone company's central office voice network; IDSL bypasses it by plugging into a special router at the phone company end
ISDN requires call setup; IDSL is a dedicated service
ISDN may involve per-call fees; IDSL may be billed at a flat rate with no usage charges"

Hope this information helps. Seems to me the lack of any real horsepower and duplication of equipment would put this technology out to pasture rather quickly. IMHO
