In Bell Atlantic, you can get an intercom circuit. This is a point-to-point
ISDN line without per minute charges. Each location can only call the other.
For 128k (2B) of bandwidth, the MRC is about $120. It is as "dedicated" as
ISDN gets, but you still have to "call" the other side, but it works like
the old telephone switches... no area code, no exchange, just the last 4
digits of the number are used - since the either side of the circuit
originate in the same CO. The install is rather high though... About
$600-700 NRC.

Now, a quick question...
I am using an OR-U with the 5 BRI board. How do I add a second number (other
B channel) to dial to a location table. Do I need to have the TelCo make the
first number hunt to the second. I am using a v.32 script. TIA!

btw- MZ, Thanks for the quick response on the source routing question.
