Description
The existing phone system, designed for transmitting people's voices, is not ideal for computer signals. Modem use is possible, but the future hope is ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network), a system of phone lines optimized for sending computer information. This is a complete guide for individual Internet users and small businesses who want a high-speed ISDN connection to the Internet. The book describes ISDN and its scope in non-technical terms. The authors help readers to decide what type of ISDN connection they need. Once they have chosen the type of ISDN connection, readers are taken through the process of contacting the telephone company, ordering the service, installing the hardware in their computer, and setting up Internet software for ISDN.
