Yes,

I am running ISDN with NSFIP.  I am using an Ascend Pipeline 25, which 
is a combo isdn modem/router/bridge.  How this works is you run your 
ethernet to the Ascend box (no bottlenecks) and control dialing, etc. 
from your serial port (also to the Ascend box), The control setup is 
very similar to a modem, yet it acts like a ethernet bridge.  *Very* 
highly recommended, but not cheap (~$1200 w/4:1 hw compression).  It 
also has two analog ports that allow you to use normal analog devices 
(regular modem, phone, etc...) over your ISDN line.  Check it out at:

I am not affiliated in any way, shape or form with Ascend, Inc.
