And I agree with whomever said that Verizon doesn't quite get it. Whenever I call about an ISDN line they try really hard to steer me towards DSL. Although if you get to the right business unit they're a little better.
Years ago I had a bunch of AT&T 7506 phones on a BRI with CO-based custom ISDN centrex. It was like having my own $20M switch. Of course convincing them that they *could* do this, and that it was a tariffed service was difficult. There were times I had to fax them copies of the relevant ISDN tariff and pages from the 5ESS provisioning guide.
ISDN can be very, very cool. The Europeans have figured this out, but the US telcos are just waiting to be put out of their misery. Hopefully VoIP will do it.

Also for any ISDN gurus out there - is there a simple way to loop back BRI
so I can call from one B to the other for testing with the proper

committing to ordering a line that will be useless if it does not work.
While I'm not an ISDN guru, a google for ISDN loopback shows products in the $150 range that are designed for this. Most seem to be euro, but there are US products too.
FWIW, I would also be very interested in US BRI ISDN w/ * info. Analog POTS just blows. Looking through the Verizon tariffs, it seems as conversion from POTS to BRI is supported and reasonably affordable.
