^I just got approval to spend a little money on an ISDN Terminal Adapter
^(modem) for a Linux box to connect to our ISP (probably Mindspring).

Well, I am in the midst of the same thing, having just spent an hour looking at web pages, here is what you want:

http://www.modemshop.com/isdn-cat.html
http://www.cqk.com/
Web based sales, with prices!

http://204.162.80.5/Content/Reviews/Compare/Isdn/ss02.html
Reviews of most of them.

The two I am leaning towards:
Farallon Netopia:

Though Netopia's hardware is identical to that of the external
3Com Impact we also reviewed, its street price is
about $100 lower. The two products perform almost
identically, but the Netopia offers much more in
both bundled software and service.

Though I see 3coms and Farallon running the same price on the pool.

The other is 
Zyxel

There's appears to be the cheap modem on th emoarket, has 2 pots, 2 Ser from cqk for $215 (This may be mismarked, it is cheaper than the 1 Ser/1pots).

a couple posts on comp.dscom.isdn seem to like it.
