isdn and LAN interconnectivity

[Lisa Honan]

I wish to be able to connect my isdn based, H320 compatiable
videoconference system with the LAN and Internet. How expensive is the
bridging equipment and who makes and distributes it?

Thanks

Lisa:

You might be better off just getting an ISDN router with an S/T
interface and putting this on the ISDN line. The other side of
the router will connect to your LAN (via Ethernet).

You should then also ask your phone company for an additional two
SPIDs and Directory Numbers (which you will program into the
router).

This will give you the capability of doing H.320 videoconferencing
with your existing system (provided it also has an S/T ISDN
interface) and giving machines on your LAN Internet access through
the router. You will, however, only be able to do one thing at a
time (either 128K H.320 video conferencing, or 128K MLPPP Internet
connections....but not both...unless you can live with 64K H.320
videoconferencing and 64K Internet connection).

The Ascend Pipeline 75 or 50 (S/T model) should do the job nicely
for you.
