The D channel is only for communication between your ISDN equipment 
and your LEC switch, and doesn't enter into the picture on the long
distance portion of the call.  

The two B channels are considered separate calls as far as the carrier 
is concerned. 

In these days, virtually all LD telephone circuits are a 56K or 64K
digital bitstream.  There may be some long-distance circuits that can't 
hand a 64K clear channel, in which case you'll get a 56K throughput per
channel.
