OK then, FreeBSD does not support ISDN out of the box anymore. Primary, 
that's a sad thing, but it is also a good thing for change.

I don't want to start a big discussion about which version of I4B is in 
the tree again, but I just recently read that HPS is in a final stage of 
the USB4BSD implementation and my understanding is, that this is going 
to be in the tree then. As the motivation of this U4B was the 
elimination of GIANT from I4B-HPS, wouldn't this be the opportunity to 
go that route for this as well?

I mean, FreeBSD for me is still the OS to use for ISDN and  VoIP on 
standard pc hardware as well as (or especially for) embedded systems.
