You will need either:

- i386/RELENG_6

or:

- i386 + C4B

or:

- amd64 + C4B + a bit of unsupported patches i can give you

or:

- Talk to hps if his i4b stack supports amd64



For 7.0 ISDN support is very limited because it lacks locking.

Software is harder than hardware  so better get it right the first time.
