I have had good results from the ISC card in a 486/25, 8 meg RAM,  
running win 3.11 and DOS 6.22. My only gripe is that Chameleon 4.5 and 
PSI cannot connect at 128KB as I was told they would once PSI went to 2B 
channels. Hopefully this will be resolved in the near future. As this is 
my home computer, useage is not that heavy, probably 1-2 hrs per day. At 
$275 it was hard to go wrong:-)

The Securelink II Works very well with Windows NT.  I have had a *lot*
of problems with the Windows drivers though, and eventually gave up
trying to get them to work.  (Windows NT is my primary OS, so while
it'd have been nice being able to use the card under vanilla Windows,
it wasn't that important).

*** BIG CAVEAT *** Forget about using the card with anything but
Windows and Windows NT.  ISC does not provide drivers for any other
OS, and will not give or sell you documentation to write your own
driver.  (At least they wouldn't when I asked a few months ago.  That
may have changed now that US Robotics have bought ISC).  If you plan
to use an OS like Linux, get a Motorola Bitsurfer Pro or somesuch
instead; those ISDN TAs behave just like modems (complete with AT
commands) so you can use them with pretty much any communications
program that can handle modems.
