And here is the file I posted to inet-access a few days ago: :-)
PortMaster 2E Communications Server with ISDN Base Option
The PortMaster 2E Communications Server with ISDN base option provides
users with 5 Basic Rate Interface (BRI) ISDN ports in the first slot of the
3-slot PortMaster 2E chassis. Two additional expansion slots are available
on the chassis to add Livingston 5-BRI expansion modules or 10-port
asynchronous serial modules. This now enables users to configure a
PortMaster 2E with up to 15 ISDN BRIs. The product comes standard with one
Ethernet port (AUI, BNC, &10BaseT) and one asynchronous (up to 115.2 Kbps)
port. Note: the standard 10-port asynchronous base version of the
PortMaster 2E (Model PM-2E) will continue to be available.

PM-2E-10I-U PortMaster 2E with 5 BRI U interface ports $3895
PM-2E-10I-ST PortMaster 2E with 5 BRI S/T interface ports $3895
PortMaster 2i Communications Server
The new PortMaster 2i is a fixed configuration ISDN communications server
and dial-up router. It contains 5 Basic Rate Interface (BRI) ISDN ports,
one Ethernet port (AUI, BNC, &10BaseT) and one asynchronous port (up to
115.2 Kbps).

PM-2i-U PortMaster 2i with 5 BRI U interface ports $3495
PM-2i-ST PortMaster 2i with 5 BRI S/T interface ports $3495
These products support all the PortMaster features you are familiar with
and the ISDN ports are configured the same as on the 5-BRI module. There
will not be "R" versions (integrated T1/E1 port) of these ISDN base
PortMasters.
More information on these products can be found on the new PM-2E/2ER and
PM-2i datasheets. They are currently up on Livingston's website at:

ISDN expansion card
The 5 BRI ISDN expansion card fits into one of the two expansion slots of
the expandable Portmaster series, that's model PM-2E, PM2-ER (with sync port
up to T1/E1) or PM-2E-10I (base ISDN model) series. Five RJ-11 connectors can
be used to connect to the telco or instead an alternate HD 'high density' port
allows one cable for 5 BRI ports. Since the majority of ISPs already have
Portmasters, it's often the least expensive ISDN upgrade solution by just
adding an ISDN expansion card into an existing expandable Portmaster.
This flexibility is probably also the reason why expandable Portmasters
are still vastly more popular than the non expandable compact P-25
Portmasters.
