Yes, isdn4linux does support both sending and receiving. However, you should
know that sending it is not a free service, at least in Germany you have to
pay extra for it (also have a close look on the usage conditions).
Additionally, please note that if you are connected through a PBX, it will
most likely filter out all the subaddressing stuff.

Yes, most cards should work. However, at least the AVMFritz!PCI card won't
work, due to the different Endian format for 32bit B-channel data on the PPC.
In any case, you may also get a terminal adapter (= external ISDN "modem").
Since then you don't need isdn4linux (see question

And this company doesn't even give away drivers for other operating
systems, like Windows, for free. You have to dial up a very expensive
number (0190) where you have to pay about DM 3,60 per minute in Germany
to download the driver. Not that it's advisable to use Windows anyway,
but just to let you know...
Warning: Teles has often changed their cards without notice, while still
using the same name. When you buy a Teles card, you may find out that your
