Rarely used MSN [Multiple Subscriber Numbering] ISDN-service allows to map up to 8 separate-phone-numbers on one ISDN PRI (BAI) installation. However, only 2 B-channels are available, therefore only 2 devices can be connected at one time (simultaneously). AO/DI, Always On/Dynamic ISDN service allows always-on one data-channel(D-channel, 16kbps). One B-channel will be awake if D-channel demands. D-channel is used for specific purposes – controlling, e-mailing, and signaling. Another ISDN service is D-channel/X.25 protocol, mostly used for e-mailing.
Note: ISDN estimated operating cost: 0.5 US$ per hour (for one 64kbps-channel) in Thailand [Bangkok Post, Sept. 5, 2001]
