Configuring an ISDN

I've been lurking for a long time on this wonderful list. I hope someone
can help me with this question. (I noticed that there was a posting from
a teacher recently who went through this with a T-1 connection...I'm
jealous...)

Our local ISP has generously offered to donate 26 permanent IP addreses,
ISDN support and unlimited time to hook up my computer lab to the
Internet. They will also provide the router. All we have to do is get
the ISDN line. My questions:

1) will one ISDN line handle 26 stations accessing Netscape at the same
time? Kids tend to flit from one place to the other and I'm worried
about a huge slowdown as they all try to download heavy graphics.

2) Our lab runs Novell 3.11 (with no plans to upgrade) and the
workstations run WFWG 3.11. I have heard that the TCP/IP program in
Novell is difficult to configure. What should we use instead?

Please forgive my obvious ignorance - but if you don't ask - you ain't
gonna learn! TIA
