The best way is the same as for ADSL, but you need an ISDN router that does NAT and a WiFi access point. Unlike ADSL, you're unlikely to get the two combined in one box. I don't know what your current ISDN setup is. An alternative would be to use Microsoft's internet sharing rubbish.

I used to have a 3Com Office Connect ISDN Router (called an ISDN LAN modem). You can pick them up cheap these days on EBay, like this one or this one. There are loads of WAN access points, again really cheap on EBay.

How are your computers connected to the ISDN line?

If its through an isdn router all you should need to buy is a Wireless Access Point.

Either:

    An ISDN router and a WiFi (WAN) access point.

    or

    Microsoft Internet Sharing (spit) and a WiFi (WAN) access point.

I suggest the first as the much better solution. 10-15 pounds for each piece of kit second hand on EBay. A little bit more for a faster access point (which would be pointless if all it's going to be used for is browsing the web at ISDN speeds).
