Once upon a time Kyle Townsend shaped the electrons to say...
>* Is "hard-wired" BRI the same thing as "nailed-up" BRI ?

Not really. Neither is technical. There are hardwired links that are
always on, usually called leased lines. Nailed up can refer to links that
are autodialed and kept up without the telco changing anything. I can
'nail up' a link from home to the office by setting my OR's location table
to use 'automatic'.

>Is this in the National ISDN 1 or 2 specification. When

I really don't know, I haven't read them all.

>you say "not at this time" are you saying you intend
>to support it in the future ?

I'm saying we don't support it at this time. Who knows what the future holds,
I for one don't. We have had a couple of RFEs for this, but whether or not
we do it I just can't say.

>*Well, actually, I meant Frame Relay over ISDN. Do most
>carriers support this or not ?

Actually personally I've never even heard of frame relay over ISDN, so
I'd venture that it isn't all that common, at least in the US. I don't
pretend to know everything, so I don't know if/where this gets used.
