I know that in Germany a good amount of land-line telephone line are still using ISDN. Some telco company try to move people to IP only, but this is currently still a process. Especially company line are using ISDN still, and there are some Linux programs that act on then, e.g. Asterisk and

[PATCH 2/2] isdn: i4l: move active-isdn drivers to staging

The icn, act2000 and pcbit drivers are all for very old hardware, and it is highly unlikely that anyone is actually still using them on modern kernels, if at all. All three drivers apparently are for hardware that predates PCI being the common connector, as they are ISA-only and active PCI ISDN
