They changed to AVM Felix cards (no longer hisax), which don't work in
kernels < 2.4.19 (IIRC, end last time I looked that driver was marked
experimental... I use any winbond 6992 based card just fine, eg
Sitecom - although the card now listed on their site looks different
to the ones I've bought in the past!

Don't use an external TA, the ISDN subsytem is great, and I think the
throughput will be slightly better with a PCI card.
