I've used (to date:)
passive:
Teles 8/0 Teles-Driver 1 IRQ - Problems on some Pentium Boards
Teles 16/0 Teles-Driver 1 IRQ - ok, no longer sold
Teles 16/3 HiSax-Driver 1 IRQ - ok, I would recommend this card
Fritz! HiSax-Driver 1 IRQ - ok, little experience, seems stable
active:
ICN-2B ICN Driver no IRQ - fine card but too expensive
ICN-4B ICN Driver no IRQ - same as above
As you see, you need an IRQ per board, not per channel. The active ICN
boards need no IRQ at all, I know of ISPs with 19" Slot CPU boards,
using 6 ICN 4B (12x ISDN S0 for a total of 24 channels) in one
computer.
All tests above with german ISDN (S0 bus), Euro and national (1TR6)
protocol, some tests with leased line (HiSax and ICN).
Kernel: I would recommend 2.0.29 with the 2.0.30A patch from
ftp.franken.de
Kind regards
