I did recently look at Pipex as a potential alternative to Demon, but 
they worked out more expensive and don't offer SMTP forwarding which is 
very nice to have...
Not cheap once you add the line rental... They also cut you off every 
two hours and after 20 minutes of inactivity and they charge extra for 
bonded access.

What they normally do is to convert your analogue line. You can then use 
either one of your ISDN channels for voice (but not if making a bonded 
call of course).
You end up with 3 numbers, one for each ISDN channel and one for both 
channels.

We have one channel with our original number for voice calls and use the 
other for data.
You can of course keep your analogue line, but it'll cost ya.....
