} The BT "Ignition" TA works fine here with Linux. It is available from
} British Telecom at 329 pounds. Diald and PPP work well with it.
The TA type external ISDN connecitity boxes should all work, but are
a poor solution - they tend to mean you are just using it as a fast
modem. Its better to have something like an internal card and use
sync PPP over it.
I haven't actually tried any cards with Linux in the UK - I use a
3net external router (ethernet <-> ISDN) - which is another good, but
expensive, solution.
