I have to disagree with a lot of your statements:

We are running bri-stuff in production systems here in Europe.  It is 
rock solid under RH9.  I am also running it at home with 1 Billion and 2 
Asustek cards in the one P400ish machine..  It has its quirks, as does 
Asterisk overall.
Perhaps your post should have read 'I am having difficulty getting 
bri-stuff to work.  Can anyone please advise me on what I am doing wrong?'

As regards coercing kapejod, he doesn't need coercion!  He has put a 
huge amount of effort getting his patches working on regular snapshots 
of Asterisk CVS HEAD.  The reason he will not sign the disclaimer is for 
legal reasons relating to the disclaimer that Digium requires.  If 
Digium dispensed with the disclaimer that basically says 'this is open 
source but we want the right to sell it if we want to' then I think 
Kapejod would have integrated his patches long ago.  I suggest you 
hassle Digium on this one.

Now, if you rephrase your posting, perhaps we can help you get it working!
