Well it sounds like its worth a look at least, though it seems we'd 
probably need a 2nd phone line for normal phone if we got dual ISDN and 
to allow ADSL later. We'll see, its definitely worth a look.

Any reccomendations w.r.t ISDN hardware for linux?

*drool*

The POST is on 256/64k ADSL so its fast only compared to a 56k, which is 
what I meant. I regularly use a 10mbit+ link on the co-lo box at Indigo 
so I'm familiar with the deal... (once, for kicks, I ran mozilla over 
remote X using ssh and played with that. Worked impressively well 
considering the limits of the connection involved.)
