Customizing European ISDN connections
In Europe, ISDN devices use the Common ISDN Application Programming Interface
(CAPI) to transmit and receive data. Even if a separate ISDN device is listed on
the Connection Info tab, you must select ISDN via CAPI 2.0.
To improve connection speed, you can configure pcAnywhere to use channel
bonding. Channel bonding combines two 64-KB channels into a single channel,
which provides for 128-KB bps transmission. Channel bonding only works if both
channels are available.
