Netgear RT338 ISDN *router*. It's very easy to set up. As far as
linux is concerned it's on the net 24/7. It's got a sort of firewall
built-in if you do NAT (Network Address Translation.) I use one at
home and it's sweet! It can be configured to add / drop the second
ISDN channel as needed and can serve IP addresses via DHCP.
If you need higher-end stuff, I'd go with a Cisco ISDN router. I'd
stay away from ISDN modems, as they don't have quite the throughput
through a serial port that you get on a LAN-based router.
