I'll tell a bit about the subject I'm familiar with. The Teles.S0/16.3 internal ISDN card and look-a-likes are supported by BISDN. Though BISDN is quite a bitch to install, when you do get it to work, it works flawlessly. Just don't look at the sources. However, this is only good for Europe. I don't know the exact reasons, but I think that external ISDN adapters are more popular on the other side of the Big Pond, at least with those capable of developing driver code. So I guess the question for you is: which serial card and which ISDN adapter (please don't call them modems, that's the whole idea of ISDN: you no longer need to modulate/demod- ulate the data) am I going to use? - Peter
