Once upon a time Matthew S. Crocker shaped the electrons to say...

>difference between PRI's and BRI in most markets?

We're thinking about it, but have no plans to do one at this time.

And we did research. There is a large market for T1 and PRI products.
ISDN rates are trending down, and there really isn't a major market for
BRI boxes now. Look at Ascend, the PRI/T1 box is their best mover.

With deregulation and growing competition PRI/T1 rates should continue to
drop. If that fails to happen and BRI demand grows (right now we have
heard from only a small number of people, no where close to the number who
asked for PRI) then we may do a BRI box.

We're looking at a lot of different possibilities for the future. But
at the moment, PRI is it for digital modem solutions.
