Still, you could have mentioned:

In Germany and other parts of Europe, the Teles S0 and compatible
boards are supported.  They *should* work in the US, though nobody's
done it yet.  They currently only run single channel connections (you
can have two different connections to different destinations).  The
theoretical maximum throughput is 8 kB/s (64,000 bps), which is
somewhat less than the theoretical maximum of the 115.2 kbps lines
(11.52 kB/s).

See the handbook for further information.  There's a mail list (in
English) which you can join by sending mail to
isdn-request@muc.ditec.de.
