Keep at least one voice line for power and CO siwtch problems. My ISDN
goes dead periodically (maint?) or when storms come through.
Another problem, the OR-U does not have a POTS port so you can't get the
voice call out of it on one BRI. I have a Bitsurfr as well and it *does*
have pots ports. It will run 1- or 2- channel data and (when running
MPPP) will auto-drop 1 channel to allow a voice call, then poick it back
up when the voice call is over. However, this would need to be an
external comm device on an independent router (sync or async).
OR-U will bond channels wonderfully especially with a livingston on the
other end, and at home my Bitfurfer does a bang-up job as well.
My recommendation: Keep voice line as is, replace data line with ISDN,
then get an OR-U and plan to use both channels all the time.
