Ascend Pipeline 50/75 units were great remote access devices long before ADSL killed em off. Yes they could handle voice, with one or two FXS ports, and one to three BRI ports. I think I only recently threw away the units I had in the closet and maybe even the ones at work. Setup was not hard, at least the ISDN bits. We still use BRIs for our VC systems, so they can be ordered at least for businesses. I've also used BRI lines to setup small offices on out CCM installation (mostly outside of the U.S.) The hardest part of setting one up is getting the carrier to provide the provisioning details (switchtype, SPID or no SPID, PTP or MP). If you can get those details, it is no harder to setup than a PRI.
