You are completely right, that zaphfc/HFC-S cards will give you zap
devices on a BRI connection. Unfortunatly i don't know who is selling
those A-ticked in .au.

There are various of those cards out there. Billion, Jensen, ASUSTek,
just to mention some of them. Check your local hardware store for
regular ISDN cards and make sure, that the logo on the chipset are the
towers of the Domchurch of Cologne. (Cologne Chip's logo, the HFC
manufacturer). Here in Europe these cards are around 20-25 EUR/pc.
