You can do 64k digital calls in IP, some of the older cards did not but the newer ones do. 
Getting 64k in IP to work between different vendors can be fun, but we've done it between cisco and patton/genband
The vwic will translate from isdn bearer 64k to codec clear channel in the voip dial peer so you would need another device before the access server to translate back to isdn.
AFAIK the vwic does not do cross connect to go from one port to another on the same device but I may be wrong....
