If they were connnected to the exchange by ISDN, then they wouldn't need a
rack of modems at all, callers would be logging on via a rack of Telstra
modems in the exchange (which is exactly what my current ISP does - not a
modem to be seen in the place, with the exchange literally next door).

I expect that it's their connection to the internet that's via ISDN, and
the rack of modems is what you're connecting with, via ordinary analogue
lines.
