We've been told by the ELSA people that this is absolutley necessary on
that card - and it works.

This is a complete different card, so that won't work for it, of course.

Yes, me (and some others) have. ELSA has been very helpful and supportive. In
fact I'm running the ELSA Quickstep PCI card in one of our main servers (but
of course using NetBSD) and randomly see the problem there too, so I actually
have motivation to dig into this further. But I don't have time right now
(but will have in  a few days).

Have you ever tried booting with the ISDN connection unpluged and then
plugging it in later? This should eliminate the hard problem, but keeps
the potential for random lockups.
