ISDN lines and 56K modems??

[John Prophet]

OK, just give me the quickie answer.....will a plain ol' 56k modem work on an ISDN line?

[storm2k]

newp. 56k = analog, isdn = digital...

can't send analog signals on a digital line...

Are you sure, Storm? I thought it depended on the T/A and if it had RJ-11's.... They use them for fax, standard phones, etc., but it would still seem to me kind of silly...

Conversions: digital PC, analog modem, digital ISDN, digital WWW "cloud", back digital ISDN, analog modem, digital PC... Seems like something would get lost there!

NOT speaking from experience, but in a similar boat - dial in to work & ISP on modem, but would like ISDN for ISP, but work still has to be modem....

I'm on one right now! So, I guess that means yes. In my area, DSL, cable modems are not available. I subscribe to ISDN. My 3com modem has 2 ANALOG phone outputs. Yes, the ISDN is DIGITAL, but the modem converts the two outputs to analog for phone, fax, or standard modem.
