European E1 did have 30 channels. I got my circuits crossed (ahem...) straight T1 gave you 24 56kb/channel, using robbed-bit signalling.

ISDN here was 2x64kb/1x8kb, but when you hooked up a 56k modem, you'd have a pretty good chance of getting a fast connect, because your half of the circuit was all digital. I got lots of 56K and 53K connects running that way.

Never got an ISDN to ISDN connection, that would have been cool.
