ISDN requires a digital phone line that must be installed by the phone company. It also requires an ISDN digital modem which can be purchased at any computer store or provided by the phone company. ISDN can be used on our network at speeds of 64k or 128k. 128k ISDN runs at the rate of 2x a normal account cost. Multilink requires that the customer install 2 modems in their computer and have two phone lines to dial-up available.

Will ISDN work with my existing equipment?

BellSouth Business - Data - ISDN Frequently Asked Questions
In almost all cases, ISDN requires special equipment. If connecting ISDN to a PC, a terminal adapter (sometimes called an "ISDN modem") is required. Many of the terminal adapters come with 1 or 2 standard jacks (RJ-11), so standard (analog) phones and/or facsimile machines can be connected. BellSouth has now made it easier than ever for you to purchase ISDN equipment by forming alliances with ISDN equipment manufactures and distributors.

This box will convert HD serial output into an RGB component signal, which interfaces with MultiLink via the VGA cable. Of course, you will still need an HD source such as an HD receiver or an HD VCR before you will be able to view any video images. Note: MultiLink's 720p support does not currently offer aspect ratio correction.
