One alternative I'm considering is a stand-alone multi-BRI-to-VoIP
box, like this VegaStream:

Or a similar Multitech:

That moves the ISDN channels straight onto Ethernet.  (I'm having no
end of trouble trying to get National-ISDN to work with I4L under
Linux here, so a dedicated box looks pretty attractive.)
