US only: In addition to the D-channel protocol, ISDN us-
ers in the USA must find out their SPID.
SPID stands for Service Profile IDentifier. A SPID is a number
assigned by your ISDN service provider to each subscriber in-
terface. SPIDs let the ISDN switch know which ISDN services
a given logical terminal (ISDN device) can access. This is par-
ticularly important for ISDN telephones.
