Yes, as far as I know there is no passive card supported. C4B will not support any passive cards in the near future until someone will write the B/D-Channel protocol stack for it. The cheapest card is AVM B1. You can get a B1 ISA (if you still have an ISA port) for about 25 Euro on EBay, the PCI version must be something about 80 Euros. I don't know what DID still defines, but if this means you want to route different telephone numbers (MSNs or P2P-numbers) on the BRI (S0) to different Asterisk destination, than you can do it. If DID also means you can attach a telephone to the S0 (not a PBX or PSTN line) than you can't, cause AVM cards can not be switched to NT mode. Some of the ITK cards can, but please ask Mr. Wintergerst (author of C4B) for this, he has implemented a driver for ITK cards in the upcoming C4B version.
