That is correct.

No. isdn4linux and isdn4bsd are as different as the 2 OS'es they run on.

No, i haven't heard and no, i really doubt such a driver will work under 
FreeBSD.

Isdn4bsd supports just and only DSS1. In the meantime i have got the specs
for NI-1 but i doubt there will be support for this in the near future.

I have no recommendation for a TA because i've never used one.
