My news server has expired this thread.. what were these cards called ?

Eicon (www.eicon.com) have some cards but they are a lot more expensive than
$500 (thru MUA in Brisbane). Any other brand names to investigate ?

Probably only a ISA/PCI based PC (Win/NT/unix) with one of these cards.

One thing I found out that is comforting is that most current hardware will
support the new ETSI ISDN standard in Aus when it's released. It's just a
firmware/software update that's needed. ETSI defines the D-chanel protocol,
not whatever goes over the main B-chanels or anything hardware-wise.
