Correct. The client software is designed for and tested on Cyclades servers,
and will also receive commercial support from Cyclades when used with
Cyclades servers. It will however work with many other server programs such
as "sredird" (a new Debian package I uploaded a few days ago which should be
in Unstable shortly).

Cyclades-serial-client currently has only been used on serial port devices not
on ISDN. Adding ISDN support would require doing whatever is necessary for
the D channel support (I don't know anything about ISDN and don't know how
much work this would be).

You can use it from any Linux workstations, when one bug is fixed you will be
able to use it from Solaris workstations, and most of the coding is also done
for the client software on AIX, HP-UX, Unixware, and even SCO Unix (each of
these platforms could be fully supported in about 2 days of coding).
This software has no support for Windows workstations, there may be other
software which performs similar functionality for Windows but I am not aware
of it.
With a 32 port device you can have 32 different Linux and Solaris workstations
all using it at the same time (or a single Linux workstation could have 32
instances of the software and use all the ports).

It's currently in the process of being cleared for GPL release.
You can talk to John at Cyclades about cyclades-serial-client, or Graham about
purchasing the server hardware (I believe that Germany is part of his area).
