BRI is actually ISDN BRI. PRI is ISDN PRI. Uses very much the same
concepts, standards, etc. BRI is supported in chan_zap/chan_dahdi 
through libpri :-)

In most parts of the world BRI adds some extra layers of complication to
make the CPE units behave a bit more like analog phones (PtMP). In the
US, AFAIK, this is not used.

Again I'll note that I have met very few cases, so I might be wrong.
