Any ISA slots in ANY of these DDR Motherboards?

I know it's become an ancient technology, but I've yet to see any of these new DDR-memory motherboards with any shared pci/isa slots. I can't be alone in having a legacy ISA card (that would be mucho $$$ to replace with its PCI cousin and works just as well). Most of what I see are these apparently useless CNR slots. My card is from Quicknet Technologies. It's a dedicated Internet Telephony soundcard that allows you to hook up your phone (cordless, even) to the pc to make Internet Telephony calls. Has it's own protocol stack in software and DSP onboard, so delay/echo is cut down dramatically. Anyway, this would be $150 to replace as PCI (which wasn't available as an option when I bought it some 5 years ago).

I know Abit kept one slot available for ISA, but looking at some of their newer boards, seems to be missing in favor of CNR. I can't believe there's any correlation between being DDR and PCI. Anyone know of any good boards out there of the DDR variety (and AMD type, as well) with ISA capability?

looks like you'll probably be SOL...
but if you get a computer like this for like 30 dollars, and network them together and share the connection--you shouldn't have a problem, and you'llonly be out like 40 dollars instead of like 150.
