Is it an external box that you need to connect to a serial port.
In this case use it like a normal modem with AT commands.
If it's an ISA card it won't be supported. The problem is the D-channel
protocol. They are not very much standardized. Europe has a few national
ones and DSSS1 aka Euro ISDN, the USA have two one of which is NI-1.
There is work underway to integrate NI-1 in isdn4linux. This would make
many passive cards work with Linux in the USA too.
It's a bit different with active cards that manage the D-channel protocol
by themselves, but there are only two supported, ICN (also a European
brand, and I suppose they only talk the German national protocol and the
European one) and Spellcaster.

Canada probably has a National ISDN protocol of it's own....
