The folks that installed my ISDN line do indeed install POTS phone
lines as well.  However, not all the installers do ISDN although they
are starting to be trained for it.  Its actually very similar to

and they are well payed".  Is there something wrong with that?  Would
you not want to earn a decent living as well?  Contrast BellSo folks
with the various cable companies' installers . . .

>guess...)  Anyway, I don't believe the installation charges are

Thats the probelm, your guessing.  Isn't Internet/USENET mail/news
great?
