it means they already have ISDN lines coming in so you just
get a port without a 56k modem on it (I would imagine).
But if you, as an ISP, were only going to support customers
connecting via ISDN you'd buy a simpler/cheaper access server.
Those cisco ones with 60 x 56k modems cost a fortune compared
to say a 25xx/26xx router.
