So, now you are trying to say you did not talk about "IP".

"IP" ("Internet Protocol") is a protocol that is use on network cards 
or network modems. Now ISDN, is an example of a network where most of 
its modem is normally connected to the system through an serial 
interface. In a ISDN system the network uses an "Internet Protocol"
but on the serial sise it uses a different communication protocol than 
"IP". But the ISDN modem or any other network card/modem/Wifi might 
be weight difference between a getting the job done or giving the technology 
to the guy you were trying to kill.
