| What will ISDN do for me?
| | With a ISDN line you will connect to Internet Texas
at a speed of 128k and it is all digital so no more slow 33.6 or 56k
modem connections.
ISDN, which stands for
Integrated Services
Digital Network, is a
system of digital phone connections which has been available for
over a decade, and now it is available in many areas that Internet
Texas serves. This system allows data to be transmitted across the
Internet using digital connectivity.
ISDN provides you the
ability to connect to the Internet at a rate of 64kb or 128kb. No
more relying on plain old telephone lines (POTS), 33.6 modems, 56k
modems and slow speeds. With 128k ISDN access you are able to
complete your Internet task almost five times faster than the
average modem connection.

| | Internet Texas
Charges
| | A ISDN line actually contains two 64k channels, and when you
connect to Internet Texas you will be connecting both channels, or
two phone lines. The charge for this service is $39.90 per month,
$215.40 per 6 months or $382.80 per 12 months. Prices do not include
tax. If you require assistance to setup your equipment
then a $50.00 setup fee will apply.
| | Connect Your
ENTIRE Business
| | With a ISDN Router Internet Texas can setup your
entire business network system to connect via one ISDN line. Pay
only one connect fee and have 1 - 30 computers connected to the
Internet.
| | Equipment
Needed
| | To use ISDN you will need a ISDN Terminal Adapter or
ISDN router. A terminal adapter will allow you to connect one
computer or with additional software and hardware you can connect
multiple computers to the Internet. A ISDN router is installed on
your local area network and allows access to the Internet by all of
the computers in your office or home through one ISDN line. ISDN
Terminal Adapters cost between $99.00 and $279.00. ISDN Routers cost
between $699.00 and $1299.00. Prices of these items are determined
by the features that are included. A low end Terminal Adapter will
work just fine for a home or business that only needs to connect one
computer to the Internet. Routers in the $699.00 range will work
just fine for a business or home that wants to connect multiple
computers to the Internet but does not need some of the advanced
features. Both of these items are available from Internet Texas.
