By using the Apple IP Gateway (software program), you could use the PPP connection you have and give access to other computers on your network access to that connection. You would need to have IP addresses for each additional computer that wanted to access the net over your ISDN. It is pretty easy to setup. Apple IP Gateway is currently incompatible with Open Transport, so as long as the computer you are using to connect with ISDN isn't using OT (you'd be running the IP Gateway on this Mac), you'd be fine. I don't know of any other solution that wouldn't require additional hardware.
