It's 1992 (?) and FSOL 'wrapped in plastic' bloke (at least in that Future
Music photo)
reading Telecom Monthly, says : "We can use this ISDN thingy to our own

Other bloke: "Doesn't that cost loads of money per month?"
Plastic bloke: "Doesn't matter, we can just sell this analogue gear."

analogue gear...
