have you added a radar bug for this ???.
No, but I talked to Apple folks about that two years ago and there was no enthusiasm. And because we already had a version for our devices we ported that one...

I always thought it was a particularly useless & stupid feature for several reasons. First of all, ISDN is uncommon and very expensive in the US. To use it with a dialup connection you need two phone lines, and in most cases two ISP accounts. Alternatives such as cable modem or DSL are much more cost-effective, work much better, and are a lot faster. Although they still aren't available in some areas, but that's changing quickly. Plus wireless broadband is now becoming more widely available.

Maybe a few years ago it might have been useful, but not any more.
