I work for a company in which security is crucial (financial institutions) - and we have a host processor (meaning we send out work to them to process and create the files needed for our bank software).

Our host is trying to get all of the banks using them to get an ISDN line backup in the event that our T1 lines go down. When I called to order an ISDN line from Verizon (who I'm sure everyone knows) - the gentleman on the other end went completely off on me explaining that this would be a huge security risk...that no matter what type of ISDN line we would get (as I know there are a few types) - it would still be going through the public sector lines to reach our host - and this would be bad...

We've had security issues before with our host - and this could be the end of the relationship of they are willing to offer this without telling us of the huge security risk...it would be a huge oversite...or am I and the gentleman from Verizon missing something?
