Sure. Or just throw in the towel and get a Pipe50 or equivalent. Despite its shortcomings (like the User Interface From Hell (TM)), I'd sooner live with a stack of Pipe50's in the office than a stack of ISDN TA's plugged into serial ports at 115.2 Kb/s or 230.4 Kb/s. I can find better ways to give myself a headache :-). Now if there were an internal ISDN card that did the PPP framing and CRC generation/checking itself, and interrupted once per PPP frame (analogous to what an Ethernet card does), and were robust and reliable and well-supported and cheap, and came with a solid FreeBSD driver, or at least with good enough support and specs to write a solid FreeBSD driver, and ... oops, I just woke up.
