with the code currently in the tree only so called "niccy" cards from
Dr. Neuhaus in Germany are supported. There's a new version of the ISDN
code (should be committed to -current fairly soon) which only supports
the Teles S0/16, Creatix S0 and Teles S0/16.3 cards. Teles/Creatix are
also German manufacturers. The latter 3 are all passive, "dumb" cards.

AFAIK, none of these cards has ever been used outside of Europe. In fact,
I don't know if they're even available outside of Europe. Jordan has been
trying for months without success to get a card from Teles in the US.

A possibility would be to get an active card which looks like an internal
modem but shouldn't have the speed restrictions of an external device.
These are generally much more expensive than a passive card.
