Re: Are ISDN calls on hold cheaper than active calls?

[rberger@InterNex.NET (Robert Berger)]

  I believe the "correct" way to handle this is to have ISDN CPE to support TCP/
  IP over the D channel and make the D channel part of the MP protocol so that
  the CPE will bring up the B channels when data flow over the D channel execeeds
  a threshold. The threshold could be protocol specific (like email will not
  bring up the B channel, but flow through slowly, but an FTP or http data
  would).
  
  This way remote sites would look like they were permanently connected.
