The 802.9 Working Group of the: IEEE 802 networking committee developed standards for integrated voice and "data access over existing Category 3 twisted-pair network cable installations." Its major standard was usually known as isoEthernet.

IsoEthernet combines 10 megabits per second Ethernet and 96 64-kilobits per second ISDN B channels. It was originally developed to provide data and voice/video over the——same wire without degradation by fixing the amount of bandwidth assigned to the "Ethernet and B-channel sides."

There was some vendor support for isoEthernet. But it lost in the marketplace due to the rapid adoption of Fast Ethernet and the working group was disbanded.
