You got it! If you want to go CO-CO, Ameritech costs $0.09 per 10 minutes
for ISDN. Higher rates for inter-LATA. Now if I want to set up
TELECOMPUTING for our employees with good LAN access, I would go the ISDN
route, I think. PPP is for Client/Server, FTPs, and the like. Not Novell
Server access (well it is almost bearable)....
