Telephony is an expensive game to be in :) "But my ISDN card was only 20 EUR!" 
suddenly doesn't mean an awful lot when you have to manufacture in very low 
volume..

The Junghanns and Sirrix devices are not consumer kit, and you should not 
expect to simply multiply the cost of a single-ISDN card by the number of 
ports :)

Asterisk has /vastly/ lowered the entry cost for telephony - ask around to 
find the average prices of, say, an E1 module for a proprietary PBX or a 
16-channel BRI ISDN module... then suddenly 600 EUR for 8 channels will seem 
like a very good deal indeed. 

Cheers,
Gavin.
