Actually $84/12 = $7 ;=) I read about this but thought it was
only the cost of direct dialing sdf, not a way to access the
internet. Will look closer.

And I suppose you'll tell me next that 2+2 really does equal 4? :)

Frequently it does.

OT: Something funny I saw in /usr/share/games/fortunes:

*
(1) X=Y ; Given
(2) X^2=XY ; Multiply both sides by X
(3) X^2-Y^2=XY-Y^2 ; Subtract Y^2 from both sides
(4) (X+Y)(X-Y)=Y(X-Y) ; Factor
Divide by zero
(5) X+Y=Y ; Cancel out (X-Y) term
(6) 2Y=Y ; Substitute X for Y, by equation 1
(7) 2=1 ; Divide both sides by Y
-- "Omni", proof that 2 equals 1
*

Only that 2 can be divided by zero as many times as 1 can.

They have a number for my town and four others for towns that are
a local call from here. Plus one number that is ISDN only. How
does ISDN work? Would I need different hardware?

Yes. You probably need new phone equipment from the phone company,
an ISDN modem, drivers for that, and other things.

Extra charge?

Yes. I don't know if SDF will charge more, but your local Baby Bell
will charge $arm + $leg a month for the ISDN line. You get a very
reliable link at about twice the speed of a fast 56k modem. The
overall cost is likely more than cable or DSL, for a slower but
more reliable link.
I read something somewhere about charging an extra hourly rate on top of the equipment charge.
