ISDN is plenty. 

Using bulk_mailer to speed delivery, I can deliver to 200 addresses in a
few minutes (not including the stubborn addresses). The above list (200
subscribers) gets at least 10 posts a day, for at least 2000 outgoing
messages a day (on just this one list). As far as bandwidth is concerned,
it does not break a sweat.

If you have no other traffic on the line, a 28.8 modem should suffice.
