Not official policy. Officially, they will refuse to add an ORHH to a 
house which already has four or more lines. This means that in theory 
you can have three analog lines and split one to get two analog plus 
two digital.

All business ISDN _calls_ are charged, but you are not making a business 
ISDN call, you're making a home call, the business is only recieving 
it.

So do iiNet but they charge extra. Don't know about WestNet, ArachNet 
charge DoV at same rate as analogue modem calls (you can get an 
unlimited-in-all-directions account for sixty or seventy dollars a 
month).
