ISDN users to meet here

JAKARTA (JP): Users of Integrated Services Digital Network
(ISDN) and Intelligent Network (IN) facilities will gather today
at PT Indosat's headquarters to discuss utilization of the
services in the country.

The two-day event, organized by the Indonesia ISDN and IN User
Forum, will feature the secretary-general of the Ministry of
Tourism, Post and Telecommunications, Jonathan L. Parapak, the
forum's president, Suryatin Setiawan, and Indosat president
Tjahjono Soerjodibroto as speakers.

The forum will also hold an exhibition and launch a book on
ISDN guidelines.

ISDN evolved from a telephony integrated digital network into
a network that provides end-to-end digital connectivity. The
network supports a wide range of services, including voice and
non-voice services, which users can access through a limited set
of standard multi-purpose user network interfaces.

There are currently several ISDN applications, including high-
speed facsimiles, videophones, multimedia terminals, switched
digital backups, personal computer cards and terminal adapters.

Indonesia launched ISDN, locally termed as Pasopati, last
September with Indosat and PT Telkom as its sponsors. (icn)
