Here's a (semi-)rhetorical question:

With the price of a basic, sync-to-Ethernet router going to
$700, or ca. $1350 with an integrated CSU/DSU, is there still a
market for these cards (either ET or SDL)?

(I'm thinking of the Livingston Office Router, some of the Compatible
Systems boxes, and the Ascend Pipeline 130.)
