  Burnsville is one of only three Central Office areas in the Twin Cities area
  which does not yet have ISDN. The other two are in central Minneapolis.

  I'll tell you what I've got:
  
  There is a local ISP which is very interested in ISDN service. Their
  name is Gofast, and they led the local fight to get USWest to step
  up their installation of ISDN connections in the Minneapolis area.
  
  The specific information you should look at is at:
  
  	http://gofast.net/isdnavail.html
  
  There is a map there which shows what I've outlined above. Below the map
  they list Burnsville as being scheduled for ISDN installation in the
  first quarter of 1996, so you have at most six or seven weeks to wait.
  
  Hardly worth the effort, but you might send a nastygram to USWest,
  just for fun..
