I use ISDN (basic rate, one or two B channels) for my ISP link.  I love
it.  Most reliable phone line I've ever used.  I'm using a Motorola 
BitSurfer Pro.  Other than making sure you get the network interface
configured properly for the switch you are attached to, it is a dream
to connect and use.

I did do myself a wiring favor and run the line over a spare pair in
a Cat 5 wire run I already had handy.  Don't know how standard house 
phone wiring would work.
