Actually, you can subtract them in some cases.

My Zyxel 2864I ISDN-gadgets can speak async HDLC on the serial port and 
sync hdlc on the ISDN.

I've tried it out and can confirm that "64000 < one B-chan < 80000".
My figures indicated 75000 bits/sec for FTP.

The principle is not entirely unlike the various UUCP/XMODEM/KERMIT spoofing 
done by other brands of modems.

Future will arrive by its own means, progress not so.
