Forgive me if I am being a little niave here, but is not an "all digital
mode" that uses a "terminal adapter" currently known as ISDN? What
would be the point of having an all digital line with a terminal adapter
at the and and hoping for v.90 speeds when ISDN is capable of 64K per
channel? What would be the point of making a new standard for digital
lines? Something seems a little hokey to me.
The wireless part of it does sound interesting though...
