In the last number of "Telecom Product News" could see just ONE device
claiming to be an ISDN adapter for the Universal Serial Bus. Not too much
really !

Another similar magazine "Electronic Product News" shows a few connectors
manufacturers which actually present their USB connectors, but the only
chips to deal with them are made by Lucent Technologies and Philips. The
Philips chip interfaces via I2C bus with a microcontroller, has one upstream
USB port and four downstream USB ports. (no clear idea what it means !)

Another peripheral: Cherry manufactures a USB Keyboard.

I agree that there is no market actually. It may become a real (fact)
standard or just another marketing decition which blows !. Anyway.... better
to check it closely and get all the info you can.
