Hello, Frank.  Don't be embarassed!  The only stupid questions are the
ones NOT asked.

Since your question is mostly about the bottom (physical) layer of the
7 layer reference model, and since comp.client-server is mostly about the
topmost layers, I'm cross-posting this response to comp.client-server
and to comp.dcom.isdn and I'm setting the Follow-up header to just c.d.isdn.

The ISDN gurus in c.d.isdn may be able to help you more than I can, but
here's some advice from a non-guru:

Use the LAN connection, not the WAN connection.

As a general rule, a LAN is cheaper, simpler, more reliable, and faster.

In other words, connect your R&D machine to your Internet Server
with a LAN, and add a NIC to the Internet server if it doesn't have one.

Use the WAN/ISDN connection just for testing the performance and appearance
of the slow speed connections that distant Non-Local clients will be 
forced to use.
