You don't really lose a BRI (in terms of cost). You can SAVE $$$ using
BRIs due to NYNEX crazy pricing structure. With a PRI from NYNEX
costing $84.50 per month per 64K channel, we're going to BRIs (@$56/mo).
The USR I-modem can be used as a 56K x2 server, or for 64K ISDN, or
multilink to 115K (rather than 128K -- Livingston PM2 serial port limit).
