I'd have to say yes to the ISDN, but that reduces your choice of ISP. You get the benefit of dial up and a telephone line that is not in use at the same time, you can bond the two lines when you get a big mac update if there are such things.

Dial up is silent and quick compared to the beep beep beep squeal squeal of analogue, and it runs at a true 64k all the time, the compression technology in a v90 modem means the speed drops off on bigger downloads.
