The current support is rather preliminary and restricted to some
Dr. Nehaus boards. Not only that they are German products, but AFAIK
they're only implementing the German ISDN switch protocols (1TR6 and
Euro-ISDN).
Julian Howard Stacey (jhs@freebsd.org) has just mentioned some ISDN
terminal adapter that is working for him, even at full speed (means 64
KB/s for our side of the ocean). They ``look like'' a regular AT-type
modem.
I guess other solutions might come up in the near future, but the
driving force seem to be German hackers, since the German Telekom's
ISDN pricing favorizes this service compared to regular phone lines.
