What about PRI in US West land? I notice there are four different types
of services for PRI: Voice/Data PRS, PRS UAS, Data Only PRS 23 channel,
Data Only PRS 24 Channel. The cheapest is Data Only PRS, the most
expensive is Voice/Data PRS. Voice/Data PRS has DID Trunk Termination,
which I'm not sure is absolutely necessary when you only need one number.
I have heard that some ISPs have used Data Only PRS to accept incoming
ISDN calls *as well as* incoming analog 56k connections. Is this true?
By definition, the Data Only PRS should accept only circuit-switched data
calls, but if the only difference is that DID Trunk Termination...? As
for the new PRS UAS, it is priced half way between the two, which is still
a ripoff. Here is where I got the prices at:

Has anyone been able to use the Data Only PRS to accept incoming 56k
analog calls?
