Microsoft, Phone Companies to Use Web to Promote ISDN: Microsoft Corp. has organized phone companies, computer accessory makers and Internet access companies in an effort to make high-speed Integrated Services Digital Network, or ISDN, phone lines simpler to order. It will launch a site on the World Wide Web today where people can learn about prices and availability for ISDN. The lines are desired by a growing number of people because of their interest in the Internet, but phone companies have not made it easy to order them. They are not available everywhere and in some places are much more expensive than ordinary lines.
