There is no card you can use in any computer with any operating system that
will
give you modems with a digital T1 connection to the phone network.  You
should just patch your Ciscos.  The closest you can come to serving digital
modems on a PC is to use those modems with ISDN ports that can do a full
digital connection.  Naturally you need to have a digital connection to the
phone network to provide v.90/56K service.
