Out of interest, which cards.

Heard good things about capi and AVM, but unfortunately none
are approved for Australia :-(

T1 = ISDN PRI in the US/Japan (24 lines)

ISDN BRI = 2 lines

So I don't think that card would work, you want a US PRI card if they make one.

If you are in Germany, I think you want E1 = ISDN PRI outside US/Japan (30 lines)

and for that you want a E100P for US$595 from digium.

I think there is a channel driver for the eicon, but I don't know where from.

I am interested in this too, the Eicon cards are also certified for Australia.
