Howdy!

We have two of the big ones (dual PRIs with digital modems), and are very
happy with them.  Granted, it took a long time to get them to the point
where they were functional and reliable, but that is more a matter of who
we purchased them from (we spent beaucoup bucks so they would install and
configure and integrate them properly.)  

We especially like the dial out ISDN capability this gives everyone on our
network (anyone with the proper privs).

I recommend you put them in your DMZ, because even though there are no
security issues peculiar to them they are an ingress/egress avenue and
should be strictly controlled.
