Well, what do you expect?  The 7600 is a high-end platform, targeted
on Gbit and 10-Gbit interface types - it's no access router.

I, personally, am quite happy that there is no ISDN support in 7600s
-- because it means "lots of code that most users of that platform
will never use, but will need to be unpacked at boot time, has bugs
that could bring down the router, etc."

ISDN is *so* low-bandwidth, and FlexWAN modules are *so* expensive
that it makes much more sense to get a used 3640 or 7200 and run your
ISDN off that box.  Or get a used AS5300, which is a box targeted to
dial-in termination.
