Dan Kegel's ISDN page is probably the best single source of links to ISDN information. The page is rather old (1996) and some links are not around anymore. Even with these problems, it's a good first place to look for general ISDN information.

There are some good tutorials on the net also. An Introductory Survey of ISDN is a short, general introduction to ISDN. The ISDN Tutoral has some more in depth overviews of various ISDN subjects. It also contains several links to other ISDN links. Eicon's page, The ISDN Zone requires some navigating but it's worth the effort.

If you are looking for information or links to equipment manufacturers, the ISDN Vendors on The Net page is very complete. The webmaster seem to keep the information and links current. Some of these manufactures have tons of information on general ISDN subjects. Most of the manufacturers have information you may need when you order an ISDN line. ISDN lines have to be configured to match the features and limitations of your equipment. The most common packages are the EZ1 and EZ1A packages. The "EZ" packages are standardized ordering codes to make the ordering process easier for the customer. Since BellSouth pays me to work on ISDN, I'll point you to their Residential ISDN page. It has an ISDN demo that compares 28.8K, 64K, and 128K data connections. If you are a BellSouth customer, you can follow the links to "Order ISDN online". You don't have to order the service but it will guide you to some descriptions of the "EZ" packages. BellSouth ISDN Tariff Summary has pricing information on all of the basic rate offering in its serving area listed by state and Capability Packages. If you are served by another company, they will probably have similar links.

If you want to dig a little deeper, try the Analysis of Advanced ISDN Supplementary Services. It's mostly a list of links on various subjects. The North American ISDN Users Forum's  page has subjects ranging from "wiring your house for ISDN" to "ENCRYPTED CSV (FAX G3 and MILSTD)". Click on their documents and applications links.

Since I work for BellSouth, I thought I'd give one of our managers the opportunity to say a few words.  Just click here.

Telcordia (fromerly known as BellCore) has quite a bit of information if you can muddle your way through it. I've stumbled onto information there and then tried to find it again a few days later and, well, I guess it just vanished.

And.... If you want a little humor, try the Cave Bear. He has some good ideas... They should work, shouldn't they?
