  >Connection to 'what' at the CO?
  
  The POTS local loop connects to some 'device' at the CO that converts
  analog to digital.  An ISDN line connects to a different 'device'.
  converting a different  analog signal to digital.
  
  My question is:  for the purposes of digital communications (i.e.
  digitized data emminating from a PC, etc.) is the first device
  more or less expensive than the second device?
