I have a small network at home consists of a box running Linux and two boxes
running Windows.  I would like to connect them to the Internet using ISDN and
have the linux box serve as a web server..

  I am think about getting an ISA ISDN adapter from 3Com.  The reason is I've
  been reading a lot about the limitation on PC's serial port affecting the 
  performance of ISDN.  The question is I don't know if 3Com is the best adapter
  to buy and I didn't find any driver for linux that support this card.
  
  Another option I can go with is to put the 3Com in a 286 and run a route
  software on it.  That will solve the driver for linux problem.  But I am
  not familiar where to get the routing software.
  
  If these two option don't work, I guess I will have to buy the Ascend 50.
  
 I am open to other ideas as well.  
 
 thanks in advance.
