Because ISDN connection and MODEM connection uses different programs (pppd and ipppd), you just need to set up your modem connection with: pppconfig and turn it on with: pon, to turn it off: poff. The only thing you should maybe change is to remove the isdnutils and isdn dialing from your standard run-level. You do it by using update-rc.d I think. There are also scripts in ip-up.d and ip-down.d in /etc/ppp. If some of them were important to you, you should change them to use ppp. But I think that would go automatically anyway.
