This BRI issue is nasty at least here in the US.  I spent hours onsite
with a customer's system DOWN messing with this.

With some very generous help from Tzafrir, I was able to get a quad
port Junghanns card working with a quad port Sangoma FXO card in the
same server with US BRIs.

I would rather deal with IRQ issues and echo than messing with patches
and jury rigged drivers.  This is the first time I have encountered
BRI, I am sure glad it is not popular in the US.

Thanks,
