NAME
     isdn - Integrated Services Digital Network

DESCRIPTION
     ISDN lets you communicate with other systems and networks via a high-
     speed telephone line (using digital instead of analog signals) just as
     you communicate with other systems and networks via an Ethernet cable.
     Once you set up and establish an ISDN connection, you can use the same
     UNIX commands and IRIX Interactive Desktop(TM) methods to log in to other
     systems and to transfer files.

     Indy comes with hardware for Basic Rate ISDN on the motherboard.  Basic
     Rate ISDN defines two B channels, each capable of transferring
     64Kbits/sec of data, and one D channel, which is capable of transferring
     16Kbits/sec of data.  The hardware presents the S interface.  The jack is
     an RJ-45 type next to the 10BaseT connector.

     The ISDN software may be installed from the Irix distribution CD by your
     system administator.
