I wish here in Canada it was more widely used, and configuration info  
and what hardware works was well known. Cost difference is not really  
there at all when you compare the actual feature packages vs analog  
lines. The cost is the unknown of getting it all installed and then  
will it actually all work as intended.

10years ago we had a ton of bri's for our isp business and it would  
have been no trouble to experiment at that time, but today is a  
different story, we dumped that part of the business when adsl took  
over.

you would think the telcos would be more interested in selling this to  
small/medium businesses that are not ready for a voice pri but it  
seems to be a forgotten technology. (bell canada calls it microlink if  
you ever need to order it, and be prepared to have to argue that yes  
it does actually exist) last time I checked it was $88/month for 2B+D  
which is actually cheaper than 2 business lines with the same  
"feature" set.
