You can use Motorola BitSURFR and ZyXel 2864I in addition to the others
mentioned here.
It is only necessary to hook the FreeBSD machine to the ISDN as the machine
can act as a gateway. Thus though neither BitSURFR nor 2864I offer 10Base-2 or
T
connections, they both support serial and 2864I also provides parallel
interface. BitSURFR goes for $390 (or bargain), ZyXel 2864I-ST for (I forget)
about $599, more for I-U. I still need to determine if ZyXel supports
BONDING.
BitSURFR is a.k.a. TA-210.
We sell the equipment; see

and ad in MicroTimes, this month page 68, lists other ISDN equipment.
