Further, if you're looking for 'something else' re: cheapo ISDN cards, 
definately give Asterisk 1.4 and mISDN a look - no BRIStuff, no huge patches, 
no wacky stuff.. all Asterisk-core support that worked really well in the 
brief time I tested it.

The key difference is rather than generating 8000 interrupts per second, the 
mISDN kernel driver (which itself can be thought of 'isdn4linux' version 2.0) 
polls the card, leading to much lower system load, and no 'wanted 8 bytes, 
read 7!' errors from dmesg.

Cheers,
Gavin.
