Additionally Mark, a Channelized (also called Integrated) T1 offers 24 
channels for voice/data, but after bit robbing (for signalling, etc) you 
only get around 56kbps per channel. ISDN PRI over T1 has 23 b-channels 
of voice/data and one d-channel for signalling, etc. PRI is preferred 
and most common. And of course, ISDN PRI over E1 gets 30 channels of 
voice/data and 2 channels for signalling.
