Do ISPs use an E1 to terminate ISDN calls though? Or is it a PRI (or is that
BRI, I can never remember). Or are they one and the same?

I know when we terminated ISDN calls on a Max, Telecom called it a "SDP"
(Service Delivery Point), which was basically 4Mbits inwards over which we could
accept 48 (could be 64, but only paying for 48) modem calls or B1 channels of
ISDN.
