It's not your phones that matter, it's your ISDN router.  I use regular 
phones, powered by my ISDN adapter.  Yes, I have my ISDN adapter on a UPS.  
It does NOT affect my phones.  The ISDN router has POTS jacks on the back 
of it. Nothing special required.

I pay $92 TOTAL for 2 ISDN circuits (2x2B), that includes all taxes and 
analog phone rates.  So, you're comparing $109 + analog line phone 
service, for a total of around $135, compared to $40 + $45, for a total of 
$85 for both Internet and phone service, if you use me as an example.
