We looked into this a while ago and could definitely produce a solution.

The problem is that most ISDN transfers use a proprietary Hermstedt / 
4site protocol. You would need to buy in to the Hermstedt way of doing things 
and then offer incoming connections to you via adsl etc.

We have the hermstedt equipment here.

It would be quite hard to automate, because it is tied up in the 
hermstedt software, such as 'Grand Central Pro'.

In short it should be possible to provide a chargeable service, but IMHO 
it would all have to be done manually (or scripted on a windows box) and 
would be a pita.
