ISDN is an abbreviation for Integrated Services Digital Network.  ISDN 
transfers information digitally and integrates all telecommunication services 
(such as telephone, teletext, videotex, etc.) into a single network.  Using 
ISDN, you can transfer text, voice, data files, images, and even video. 

Before the use of ISDN, telecommunications operated using analog devices, 
which limited the quality of telecommunication transfers.  With ISDN 
technology, the telephone lines can transmit data digitally with much greater 
speed and clarity of transmission than with analog transmissions.  The ISDN 
is capable of transmitting all kinds of information at greatly accelerated 
rates.  A typical modem transmission has a rate of 56Kbps (kilobits per 
second or thousand bits per second).  ISDN digital technology allows 
transfer rates of up to 128Kbps. 

Because ISDN transmits data digitally, the data is virtually error free, and 
the transmission is much clearer, with fewer interruptions and slowdowns in 
facsimile transmissions.  With ISDN devices implemented throughout the 
world, a truly digital network will emerge, allowing everyone fast and easy 
access to the global information highway.
