I think you can purchase Dialogic board in PCI rather than simply ISA.

as their reputation is concerned. They seem to have a good deal of
the market when it comes to telephone products. From the looks of the Phone
Rider it could be a complicated (not to mention expensive) process to get
things working correctly. I think it would be much easier to find a
motherboard with an ISA slot to accomodate the Dialogic than it would be to
use not so popular brand telephone device just because it is USB compatable
and may be out of business in a year or two. This issue seems to be ongoing
with most users in one form or another. If anyone out there has a PERFECT
WORKING phone system can you please contact me and let me know your setup.
