Since many CLECs (Competitve Local Exchange Carriers in NA) offer
fractional PRI, combined with Internet/Data, I haven't seen any demand
for ISDN BRIs for voice or data since early 90s.

Your rep at Sangoma? Or your reseller?

This is a real chicken-and-egg problem. More people would get BRI if
there were affordable hardware for it.

I would like to see them write a NAm driver for it. To get them to take
the chance, there have to be enough people willing to purchase the card
to make them consider it seriously.

The other option is a bounty or community support to get it done. The
hardware already exists.

The more people make noise about this, the better the chances of that
happening.
