2. If ISDN service is available in your area, you can order an ISDN card from Digi International at (612) 943-9020.



3. When you order ISDN lines from your local ISDN service provider, make note of the following information they give you because you will need to enter it in Windows for Workgroups when you set up ISDN:
   
   
   1. Service Profile ID (SPID)
   
   
   
   2. Switch type
   
   
   
   3. Line type
