ISDN will solve the problems every telecommuter, small business and home office user faces today: too many expensive phone lines, not enough speed and access to information. With a single ISDN line from the phone company, you can fax/phone/surf the net/videoconference at ten times the speed of one normal phone line. The CD-ROM includes the complete book text in searchable Adobe Acrobat format, plus the 500+ page North American ISDN Users Forum Application Catalog.

This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the operation, standards and technology of the ISDN subscriber loop. It is an essential reference for any engineer or engineering manager involved in the design and development of ISDN equipment as well as advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of communications systems.

This book provides an introduction to the technology for educators, with case studies of education and training uses of ISDN technologies in Europe, the US and Australia.

The North American Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Users' Forum developed this national ISDN solutions catalog, which explains over 30 solutions for ISDN applications that members identified as most important in a recent survey. Some of the solutions detailed include video conferences, screen sharing, facsimile, caller ID, telecommunications and file transfer. Also lists more than 120 products that 60 suppliers have identified as part of these solutions.
