I got a Ascend and Jtec and ZyXel (well two of each actually). The
crusader won. I had huge problems with the Jtecs, just not connecting.
The others were good, but I went with the Tennyson. 
Because:
a) It's a dam good product
b) Not that expsensive.
c) 2 POTS ports.
d) Async and sync bonding (which some of the above didn't have)
e) Tennyson run Australia Posts ISDN Network (the largest ISDN network
in Australia). And I had
    a chat with the people from Aus Post about them, and they had
nothing but good words to say
f) MADE LOCALLY!! Not only are you supporting Australian companies, but
support is a simple
   phone call away, with the support people that answer the phones
actually knowing what they
   are talking about.

I had a few things I wanted changed in the crusader, so they modified
the firmware and sent it to me.

As you can see, I don't work for Tennyson, just a very happy customer.
