You should not need an adaptor. The Highway box has an integral USB TA. =
I =20
have SuSE 8.1 and can connect via a USB cable; although my default route =
is=20
via ethernet and a switch/router box.
The USB TA uses: =
/lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB/kernel/drivers/isdn/hisax/hisax_st5481.o
I also look after other machines that is use AVM FRitz pci cards =
supplied by=20
BT. They were autodetected by (I think it was) SuSE 7.0 and work fine.

I picked up a Netopia R3100-SP ISDN router on ebay for =A325. There are =
bargains to be had from ISDN customers now covered by DSL/cable. If you =
are interested in more speed then you probably want something that will =
give the full 128K rather than just using the single 64K channel and =
that means finding a reasonable 128K ISP which is no mean feat if you =
have anything more than minimal usage. Unmetered 128K has only been =
available since the middle of last year and the main players are all =
struggling a little between contention (and remember this is contention =
for a port not for bandwidth so there are times when you will be unable =
to connect), maximum usage (200 hrs/month is about the max) and cutoffs =
(2 to 4 hrs). Prices vary by package from as low as =A35 (the wee small =
hours only) to over =A350 for anytime with a reasonable package. =
Personally I just gave up and got an uncontended line from Demon (it is =
being activated tomorrow). Not cheap though. Finally, if you are a =
gamer then you probably want to avoid the USB socket, I believe it can =
easily add in excess of 10ms to pings (which incidentally are probably =
worse on 128K than 64K).

I took it in Glasgow city centre without training : i think it was a VUE =

can dig up the address tonight if you can't find it ...
