Some of you seem very knowledgeable on ISDN, and have access to the relevant product announcements, so maybe you can help me on this ... Is the much-talked-about new IBM PCMCIA modem likely to work on European ISDN lines? I understand the standard here's a little different from the North American one, if there is a standard at all (seems to vary microscopically from country to country!). IBM has been no help, nobody here seems to even know about the product yet. Also, on this issue of the synchronous vs. asynchronous implementation of the protocol, I would assume that with appropriate third-party packet drivers on either end, you'd still be able to do direct IP, just as I am doing now with a Windows Sockets TCP/IP stack and a garden-variety analog modem. Is this correct? The prospect of 64 or 128 kbps through my TP is pretty mouthwatering, especially considering the telecoms over here are just about *giving away* ISDN lines. By the way, love your new sig, Randy. ROTFL. I hope we don't have to wait until the next baby for other such provocative stuff :-) Tim Vetter Frankfurt uwe@odb.rhein-main.de
