In a word - YES

According to the BT bumph I managed to extract from them
(bit like a dentist but probably much harder), the max
speed you can achieve on an isdn line running ASYNCHRONOUSLY
(as a point ot point internet link would be) is 38k.

As far as I can gather both Kilostream an Isdn are really
suited to synchronous use, eg server to server hdlc, etc.
And with suitable but bloody expensive terminal adaptors, you
can simultaneously share the line with phone and fax.

Any comments from others welcome!
