[ recommandations for SDL and Emerging Technologies deleted for bravity ] I know of at least 3 Sangoma 508 boards running at 64Kb frame-relay, and about to install one in my home machine soon. Their web site (http://www.sangoma.com) shows relatively new boards with CSU/DSU included, but I was worried that the standards here in Israel possibly being a little different and so it is risky to get this part integrated - you might want to check the service in your area before ordering. BTW, Sangoma are the people who donated (and apparently still maintain) the WAN support to Linux. (Debian related - two of the three running cards (and my home machine) use it under Debian "bo" release, the other one runs RedHat).
