And anyway, the HD64570 is not a PCI chip, requering additional chips to interface to the PCI bus.

It's also low speed, and support only one interface if used unchannelized. I don't remember about the Conexant chip, but I think it's channelized too. Paul, do you know how close the PEB20321 and PEB20534 are from a programming point if view ? But the FALC phy might be good for the T1/E1 versions. I have look around for sync serial controllers, but keep comming back to the PEB20534, I think that the best chip available for the job.
