In the US you want to make sure that the hardware you get has a "U" interface. This is different than the S/T interface used in Europe. eBay is a very popular place to get good quality used hardware at very cheap prices. For example, a 3COM 3C892A LAN Router sells for about $300 new but you can easily pick one up on eBay for under $100 (many times under $50). Just make sure you get a "U" interface for use in the US. If the auction doesn't specify the model of the unit then ask the seller before bidding.

Many people in the forums have recommended the following hardware:

•NETGEAR ISDN Products - RH348 and RT338 routers

•CISCO 800 Series Routers - 802 and 804 are very popular models for use in the US

•3COM OfficeConnect 3C892A LAN Router (they call it a LAN Modem)

•US Robotics ISDN Pro Terminal Adapter (3CP3468A)
