From the article referenced by larry (http://www.nb.rockwell.com/nr/modemsys/hispeed.html), there doesn't seem to be any "cheating" via compression. If you believe it works, you get a full 56kbit of data, as random as you want. Meaning ISDN's edge is just 15% more bw, at considerably greater cost and dependence on the Telco for rollout.

From Rockwell's description, lots of a/d and back would indeed screw up the scheme, so that's a good question: How many a/d conversions are there from the typical local loop to the nearest ISP-presence-friendly CO?
