Yes, modems use more bandwidth than voice. But they really contain less data than voice (which is sampled at 56 or 64 Kbps). If they'd run a 56 Kbit data line to me, instead of expecting me to modulate my 2400 Kbit data stream into tones, which are then converted into a 56 Kbit data stream, I'd be much happier. And they'd be much happier, because it'd be less expensive than voice. ISDN: I Still Don't Know. -- `-_-' Peter da Silva <peter@ficc.uu.net> <peter@sugar.lonestar.org>.
