I thought it�s maybe the same like specified in the ISO/OSI-model.
TokenRing is mentioned beside FDDI and Ethernet in layer 2. IBM made its
own implementation, aaallright...
Heavy stuff, really don�t know anything about it. With layer 4 the OSI is
different to TCP/IP... I guess OSI isn�t used in these times anymore.

But usable with ISDN?

I assume I can use the different on- and offline-scripts I already use with
Miami.

Yes, and these 10-30 secounds must be paied everytime one will connect just
to get the mails from the mailserver. With ISDN it would be a lot less
wasted time.

Telephone-software for the Amiga for ISDN? Which company supports this on
the Amiga?

I have a MFCIII which supports 115200bps and a MFCII which has a chip that
supports 230400bps here in use. Channel bundling is nice for big files and
it can be switched automaticaly if needed.
Iljitsch, it has been a pleassure for me to talk to you and I appreacheate
your hints very much! I�ll come up again when I encounte problems with my
LAN and when I have the MiamiDX :-)
