Theoretically, you can stick any modem on the Linux box's serial port, dial
into it, and have that session launch something, say a ping, that will
cause the enternet interface to "come up" which will cause the ISDN modem
to dial-out.
Of course, if your "linux router" really isn't a general purpose box, then
you won't likely be able to do such a thing as the box will prevent such
activities. Special purpose boxes tend to have all of the un-used features
"turned off."
