Actually, it was envisioned that you'd use the D channel for packet switched data traffic (not IP, more like X.25). Why would a private person use more than 16 kbit/s for a home computer? Much more important to have two high-quality voice lines! And we are busily working on ATM-based Broadband-ISDN to even make high quality video calls and TV available! Just you wait!
