If you are getting ~50k dialups, you might consider multilink.  Two modems
at ~50k will get you ~100k.  With compression it will outrun normal ISDN.
Binding overhead is 0.03%.  Of course, adding another line is an expense and
you have to make sure Qwest doesn't split your existing copper.  This might
be your solution until something better appears.
