i'd say you're going the right way with your pcmcia card. there's probably a converter available though i have no idea where you'd get one.

wifi and infra-red arent really designed for this job. infrared is for connecting to a device slowly and over short range. wifi is for wirelessly linking two or more computers/networks - to connect up to your isdn line via wifi you would need an isdn router and all sorts of complicated setting up.

You can the 56k modem no problem as long as you connect to the analoge port on hte isdn box. This port is the same as an ordinary phone socket.
