- Summary: due August 1993
- Keywords: ISDN packet 64k multiplex modem obsolete

- I was having a drink with a few friends recently, and one of them mentioned
- that they would be teaching a class in ISDN. ( They work for the phone com-
- -pany. ) I expressed interest, and s/he mentioned that Northern California
- customers would be able to order ISDN service at home around August of this
- year.
-
- The availability of ISDN to the home primarily depends on the level of
- software and hardware of the central office that services you. ISDN
- to home customers has been availible for more than a year to people in
- select areas (eg central offices with reasonable new switches, and
- enough businesses to justify the extra software cost from the
- beginning). I know people in Palo Alto, Redwood City, Mountain View,
- and Los Altos who have ISDN in their homes. I understand that parts
- of Sunnyvale, San Jose, and Cupertino also offer ISDN services today.
