We use ISDN BRI boards in a w2k server to accept incoming 56k connections. You can also pickup USR NetServers off ebay pretty cheap

Is there a particular standard I'm looking for? I know phone lines aren't great, but if I can make a 48800 connection or so to my ISP, I should be able to make the same connection to the office, providing we have the right modems installed.
