Well, if you can afford it and you´re aware that configuring a PCI-ISDN-adapter is more difficult than an analog external modem, I suggest buying an external ISDN-TA. I have my Zyxel Omni TA 128 for 3 years now (and it was in use by $formeremployer for dialin-services for years before that) and never ever had a single problem. The thing also has the advantage of having 2 serial ports, the second one you can use with the built-in ISDN-analyzer to grab nice things (like stats) out of the TA and to configure the thingie on-the-fly (eg for distributing calls for an MSN to one of the analog ports). http://www.zyxel.com/product/isdnta/o_ta128.htm just my 2 cents, &rw -- -- Light travels faster than sound.
