If you have an Ethernet card, why would you get an ISDN card? The best thing to
do would be to get an external ISDN router. Call your ISP and see what kind of
ISDN router they have. Since 80% of ISP's use Ascend, it would be best to get
an Ascend router. It comes with a cable to plug into your Ethernet card or hub
if you have other hosts.
