A method and system of providing data calls to a subscriber having a data
network, such as an integrated services digital network (ISDN), connected
to a network switch to enable communication with another party at a fixed
rate are disclosed. The methodology discovers a data calls system that
enables data calls to be placed over trunk lines for communication with a
subscriber having an ISDN with a dedicated ISDN line connected to a
network edge switch forming a trunk line of the ISDN in communication
with a central office. A plurality of base stations are adapted to make
and receive data calls using the ISDN over the trunk line. A billing
apparatus charges each subscriber a fixed or flat rate per service period
for data calls using the trunk line, for the plurality of stations,
regardless of the number of calls using the base stations during the
service period.
