The BISDN package can be found at: ftp://ftp.muc.ditec.de/isdn/bisdn-097.tar.gz this supports the Teles (www.teles.de) ISDN cards; a small patch to add support for AVM A1 cards is at http://www.arg1.demon.co.uk/avm.html However, if (as your mail address suggests) you are in the USA, you are out of luck, unless you feel like the programming job required to add support for whatever non-standard D-channel protocol your local teleco supports (BISDN provides Q.931). Most people to date appear to have ignored this challenge and gone for modem-like terminal adaptors, which of course require no specific support in FreeBSD, but doesn't give you access to many of the facilities offered by ISDN.
