David - I append my answer and offer from 9/2002 on this specific question.
The only update is that we moved, as anticipated, to ADSL/wireless in 
the ofice 9/2002, and I have never used my ISDN pcmcia card since. 
...... so you can have it !!
Perhaps we should pursue any details off-list.

David - I use an ISDN card from Digicom (an Italian company) that 
goes in to the PC-card (pcmcia) slot on my Ti-500.  The card comes 
with a short cable 'adapter'.  One end plugs in to the card and the 
other receives the ISDN cable.

There are just a few Digicom drivers (modem scripts) to "install".

Since 10.1.5, this card has been recognized by OS X.  Under 10.1.5, I 
used to get regular (once per day) kernel panics, which seem to be 
related to the software associated with the PC-card slot.  But since 
10.2, I have not had a kernel panic, nor any other issue that relates 
to the PC-card slot.  I am using ISDN all day every day in the 
office, at 128 kbps (the wireless ADSL will be 256 kbps)

I am also moving to ADSL.  I have done so at home.  That was 
completely painless.  I am just in the process of doing so in the 
office (just as soon as SwissCom get their act together).

I hope that answers your question.  Maybe I can go further, and 
suggest that my ISDN card might soon be "on the market" if you are 
interested to have it, or we could just arrange for you to borrow it. 
Of course, I might have to come to Greece for a week to install it 
for you...... :-)
