Just a sugestion, maybe you were going to do it anyway..... When you're ready to kill the ISDN, disconnect it "softly" so that you may bring it back up if you have to. I did this with a T-1 circuit.... I had two routers, and two T-1s, for about 2 months. The last 2 weeks of that, the old T-1 was running, with nothing connected to it, out of fear that the new T-1 might not be stable, or that I had forgotten to renumber something vital. I left one DNS server (running on my laptop) connected to the old T-1 'just in case'. I ran my new T-1 for about a week, with only my workstation connected to it, to make sure it was stable, fast, and as good as the sales team told me it was supposed to be, before I started renumbering things. Spent two weeks renumbering, and two weeks, with the old T-1 idle. Everything went perfectly. Nothing's worse than forgetting to change something over, and needing that old connection for another few days, or having the new connection die after the first week, and needing to fall back onto the old one, in a frantic craze of renumbering eveything..... -Jerry
