Did anybody here ever use the ISDN data ports in payphones in Japan? I remember seeing them here and there in 1998 (IIRC). At the time I wondered about popping over to one and getting on the web just to see how it would work. ISDN was serious biz to my mind at that time, compared to rural USA dialup.

My job was primarily to help maintain connectivity for the people at home rocking their 128k dual-channel ISDN lines. I helped maintain local modem banks and remotely manage end user hardware and software. I remember drooling at the prospect of such a fat internet pipe.
