Hi Rob,

here in Germany we got a company called TELES which sells a ISDN BRI
Card for only DM 500 (which is at this time $333).  This is the cheapest
price you can get anywhere. This card has no processor and includes only
two vlsi Siemens ISDN-chips.  The only problem is, the software right now
only supports the Common-Isdn-Api (which is only used in Germany I think)
and the D-Channel-Protocol-support is only for the German D-Channel Protocol
as specified in 1TR6 (I'm not sure could be 1TR3, too) which is a national
standard set by the German TELECOM.

I give you the German adress, tel & fax-number anyway:

TELES
Ernst-Reuter-Platz 3-5
1000 Berlin 10
Germany
tel: +49 (30) 31 10 05 22
fax: +49 (30) 312 80 45


I'm using this card right now, too.  They have drivers for IPX and for TCP/IP
and all the dos-stuff.  They are going to support the 1992/1993 European stan-
dard for the D-Channel Protocol.

If you got any questions... just mail me...
