The "BIANCA/BRICK-XMP":https://web.archive.org/web/20001120062700fw_/http://www.bintec.de/gb/prod/bibrxmp.html is a ISDN PRI Corporate Access Router (RAS server) made by "BinTec":https://web.archive.org/web/20010225224616/http://www.bintec.de/gb/bintec/index.html that

* terminates one 1E line (30 B-channels)

* provides ISDN dial-up on those channels

* provides DSP based modems in case analog modem calls should be handled.

* supports remote CAPI (CAPI over TCP)
