[comp.dcom.telecom] Vendor's Experiences With ISDN

TRADER@cup.portal.com (11/03/90)

I happen to work for a manufacturer of data comm equipment. We are
working on a new product and are looking seriously into the
possibility of an ISDN interface. Since this product is unannounced, I
can't be too specific about it.

What we are planning is a 2B+D interface (the basic user TE1 / NT
setup) for the new product. Documentation I've found about ISDN often
leaves out basic things like electrical specs for interconnection to
the telco, etc. Also, there are several competing chip sets on the
market. For example, has anyone had any experience with the AT&T T72xx
series?

I guess what I'm wondering is if any other vendors care to share any
words of wisdom about doing ISDN for real in a commercial product.

One thing we are rather painfully aware of is that we have sold
equipment to various phone companies for other purposes and they are
real gung-ho on ISDN in future products.
