In a small news room, ISDN may be a good answer for network access. More
than 6 individual users each with a modem suggests the need for access via
a LAN...not through individual dial-up. But a single ISDN line will not
do much for you if you have more than 10 users, or even fewer heavy users.
What is the magnitude of Inet demand in your office? Is it growing
rapidly? Larger offices should opt for T-1 or fractional T-1, not ISDN.
ISDN is great for telecommuters, if their local tariffs have been
correctly adjusted. Does your local phone company have ISDN specialty
installation crews....or do they expect you to hire a consultant to do the
hook-up? Those are the questions you need to ask..
