Two ideas for you.

Call any Competitive Access Providers (CAPs) in your area.  In our area
Hyperion and ACC will give you as much as $3,000 / T1 to subsidize digital
equip.

You can alway get USR Courier I modems and order a few BRI ISDN lines.
This will let you do 56kps and ISDN without the need to spend $10k on equip
for a few lines.
