Hi Sean,

My thoughts on various technologies is to keep the PC as far from the 
technology as possible.....;-) That way you don't have to worry about 
compatiblites, or change of platforms, etc, you end up NOT locking yourself 
into anything.

EG have a Home LAN and then use a ROUTER to connect the LAN to dial-up POTS, 
Dial-up ISDN, Cable, ADSL, Wireless, a Digital Data Service, or just about 
ANYTHING, but whatever you do, provide it for the LAN as a whole and then the 
PC will use it just like any other network resource. This method maximises your 
investment.

PS: If you have Cable or ADSL why would you want ISDN??? over here ISDN is far 
too expensive to even consider, its more than 2 times the price of the cheapest 
ADSL.

Cheers............pk.
