An old PC running Linux with a cheap ISDN card in does the job. Obviously this box
will also allow dialin via either ISDN or modem, if you choose to put a modem in.
For a really easy install, use SuSE 6.2 - integrates the latest ISDN4Linux and 2.2.x
kernels nicely and you can configure your whole ISDN setup via YaST.
In fairness, I have to say that having used both Linux and ZyXEL as recommended by
Barry Flanagan, the Zyxel is very easy to setup, though I've not used it for dialin.
Kindest regards,
