Re: (ASCEND) POTS bonding

Good example... (applaud) and practical for us cheap-skates...
I was paying $256/mo to Bell Atlantic for unlimited ISDN (data or voice)
calls from my residence. I upgrade to a commercial "Centrex" intercom
ISDN line and can call the other station (my workplace - a ISP) and
not be billed per minute for $125/mo (both locations for the $125)...
Now is that bass-ackwards or what ?
