No problems with the BitSurfer or the Adtran ISU-Express. 
(I recomend the Adtran, as it complies with the RFC's pertaining to 
Sync-->Async PPP conversion, whilst the Bitsurfer seems to have some 
problems with it)

Dialing into a Xyplex 9000 PRI card.

Just make sure you have the TA set to do Sync-->Async PPP conversion.

You will probably have to tweak the PPP options in freebsd to make it 
work with whatever type of equioment your tryin to dial into.
