It is cleaner,faster and you dont get dropped because of line noise. I don't know what you would have to pay for an ISDN line from your telco or what you would have to pay for internet access, but for me it is money well spent. I have a 128k connection, I have a LAN at home and run FreeBSD as a webserver and it rocks. Depending on what you pay 56k is a crap shoot because all conditions have to be right to connect at speeds above 33.6 or 28.8 but with ISDN you are guaranteed 64 per channel.
