Here's what I don't get.... why is everyone so hung up on ISDN simulators?
Why not just order a couple of BRIs from the phone company? Here in
expensive bell atlantic land a couple of buisness line BRIs cost around
$40 a month each plus 1 cent a minute per channel and they usually can get
them in within a week. Just be careful that you don't leave a circuit up
while you aren't studying and your per-minute charges won't add up at all.
Say you keep the lines for six months and get hit with an install fee,
that's still only around $600 -- a LOT less than a simulator, plus you can
use them when you aren't studying for extra fax lines or for a modem to
dial into your home or office. I believe they use real BRIs in the real
lab...
