    I have one in a box somewhere. I think the manufacturer is "Eicon". Aparently it was fairly well regarded.

    That Asus one from Solwise is widely regarded as one of the best cards for gaming.

    I used to use one before i got DSL and would recommend it. I can't remember any problems at all.

    Seconded Sk!mD4Rk, the ASUS TA is one of, if not the best PCI ISDN card.

    We used the Eicon Diva's at work when ppl used to want ISDN, most ppl are into this ADSL thang atm

    Maybe u could get a router that'll bind 2 channels together, that'd b an idea

    Is ISDN really worth it?
    Been pondering this for a while as I'm a cs fan....

    if it gives 40 pings, I can deal with that! Seems to be pricey though, would really have to be something special!

    40 pings are possible on ISDN. Gaming wise i'd say it's not much difference from DSL. There's no contention issues either if i remember.
