Bay Networks is a Cisco competitor (so they also build routers, &c.); 
they also bought out Xylogics, a remote access company (terminal servers

Earlier chips, no;  dunno what the current batch do, but I'd suggest if
33.6Kbps isn't already in them, then it shouldn't be far off.

ISDN.  BRI = Basic Rate Interface, PRI = Primary Rate Interface.
