Yeah - that's why they're crap :-) ISDN is a synchronous protocol, and an
internal card is a better solution. It used to be that I4L (ISDN For Linux)
was considerably harder to set up than a modem, but with at least SuSE and
RedHat now, it's plug and play. And gamers - internal ISDN cards have much lower
latency than external TAs. Oh, internal cards are also much cheaper than
external TAs.
