It is sure possible. Here in germany I use the ADSL Service from the german Telekom, which is combined ADSL/ISDN. There is a splitting device which just seperates the Signals (by Frequency, I suppose). In fact, in the beginning they were not even offering ADSL/Analog, but do that now. They wanted (and still want) to push ISDN over here.
I just wish I had a static IP address... *sigh*
