My engineering soul is offended by the idea of pushing that data through an
asynchronous connection for no good reason, hence my preference for ISDN
cards over TAs (that, and the fact that a good passive card costs about 20%
the cost of a TA). The only slight problem is that you can forget any idea
of support from an Irish ISP - as far as the hekpdesk people are concerned,
if it's ISDN it must be a TA (and that's the enlightened ones - the others
insist that you need an ISDN modem - grrr ! - my poor engineering soul is
hurt again)
