I've tested all the above (for Macworld: http://www.macworld.org, search 
reviews for "ISDN"), as well as the following:

  Interjet (actually an encapsulated BSD system with external ISDN TA
            but includes lots of services, including firewall)
  Kentrox Pacesetter
  Vicom Internet Gateway (Mac software that interfaces to an ISDN TA)
  Webramp
  
Cisco just doesn't get it <grin>. The Netopia is actually pretty good, as 
is the PaceSetter, but they don't seem to progress with new features very 
well. The Interjet is interseting as a strictly-Internet solution, but 
requires that the ISP be in on the deal (the unit self-configures over an 
analog phone line). VIG is nicely done if you need a DMZ and have a spare 
mac lying around. The Webramp is just a kind of minimalist thing.

In the end, Pipelines beat out everyone for versatility, features, and 
support (try to find the mailing list for Cisco ISDN gear ;).
