Due to BellSouths outragous pricing for ISDN in South Florida you'll
probably find that a 256K FT1 frame connection is cheaper as log as you
can commit to a two year contract. You'll also find that a CSU/DUS/T! card
for Linux will be cheaper then TWO good ISDN BRI Tas.
Remember that Buissness rate ISDN costs around $100/month for a 2B1D BRI
and that only gives you 320hours/channel/month. At something like
.01/miunute there after.
$200/month for 2 BRIs.
If they need the link for 216hrs/month that would be another $134.4 usage
Even then, you need a provided with the ports for you (you can't
overprovision ISDN circuts like frame relay).. You might be able to get
your provider to call you via their PRI (no usage) but you would certantly
need to pay for their channels and equipment (Pri channels costs about
$65/month overall you'd be using 4, you can't really dial on demand if
they call you).
All and all, you'd be better off with 256k frame. I think you can get a
256k frame for somethimg like $280/month and can probably find a small 3rd
tier ISP to service it for about $100 a month. Every once and a while
bellsouth will offer zero install on frame if you get a two year contract.
