 I ran ISDN at home in the late '90s, used it to connect to work and to
 the internet. I connected a 56K modem to one of the B circuits for the
 BBS and was surprised to get a 56000 connect. Turned out it was another
 ISDN user, we had digital all the way from one modem to the other...

 Great times, I could roll over to the other B channel and take two
 calls occasionally, use one B channel for the BBS and the other for the
 internet, or nail both B channels up for 112kbps of internetty
 goodness.

 How far we've come...
