This computer based training package offers a quick introduction to, and
overview of, ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network).  It is aimed at the
user, manager, or a technical worker who needs to do a one time installation. 
Technical specifications are there, but not right down to a bitstream level.
 
The material is reliable, the text is sparse but clear, and the graphics and
animation are well chosen to aid in getting the concepts across.  However, this
program is still very little more than a "page turner".  There are end of
chapter (or section) questions for self testing, but the queries really only
check for repetition of the text, rather than understanding of the concepts. 
(Indeed, taken out of context, as they appear in the question sections, the
"answers" sometimes make very little sense.)
