First of all, last I heard from MIT, SLIP was a problem because of
modems and switch concerns, not IP addressing.
Second, I know for a fact that the Sun LX is a full ISDN
implementation, with IP over ISDN even! (I know this because I helped
with the hardware!)
I'd like to see what comes of this: I'd like to get IP in my home,
assuming its cheap enough. As for the limit of usage of ISDN: I've
never heard of that, and I don't think its even legal for the phone
company to limit the usage to voice, since they are a common carrier
and hense cannot "censor" the data going over their wires... This
probably requires some investigation.
