Not that I recall, however I'm currently using a Teles card, but did
use a BT/AVM card for a while and there wasn't anything tricky about
it.

No problems (provided your ISP supports 128K connections)

You won't need any routing software, use user-PPP over ISDN with
appropriate options for NAT.
My settings are as follows (slightly edited to avoid unsightly line
wraps.
This is for a single-channel dial-on-demand connection. Tweak as
appropriate.

Most of this is modified from a config Brian Somers sent me ages ago,
but should be in ppp.conf.sample and documented in the man page for
ppp(8)
You will also need to configure isdn, there is a sample config in
/etc/isdn/isdnd.rc.sample for a user-ppp configuration.
If I've missed anything I'm sure Brian will be along to correct
me.....
