Is anybody connecting their FreeBSD box to the world using ISDN?

If you use an external ISDN modem, can the serial driver keep
up with ISDN speed?

Are there drivers for internal ISDN modems?

How does a single ISDN B line (56Kb) compare with a compressed
28.8Kb modem?  (A compression factor of 2 is not unreasonable 
on uncompressed data).

Thank you  ---Luigi
