A T/A is a serial device that handles all of the ISDN communications.  I
have no experience at all with this.  I recommend a good internal ISDN
modem.  As the external box handles two ISDN lines, but has only one
serial connection, I don't see how this would work.

As I said, use internal.  The Eicon Diva Server or the Digi Datafire are
good; in Europe Digi has other models that may be better.

See my answer to Brian immediately previous to this one.
