I'm trying to get some information on switched 56kbps services
both by inter and intra-lata carriers.  I dn't think anyone
is using ISDN (right?), so the first question is..

1) How do they initiate a call?
   via keypad?
   AT command set?
   separate port into DSU?

I suspect that in most (all?) cases a dedicated link is
required between the CO and the customer.

2)  What kind of link is it?
   56kbps digital?
   64kbps digital?
   T1 required?

I check the group, but direct E-mail would also be appreciated.
