But Scott is using a DDS circuit, not a leased line, right? The 5600 is
a DSU for 56k leased lines I believe?
DDS lines have dial-tone. You will need something like an Motorola
DU56 (dial-unit), capable of v25bis dialing. I believe the DU56 can have
an RS232 async interface card installed.
Running async into a sync device doesn't need to have a performance
penatly, as long as the the device has buffering, can do hardware flow
control on the async serial, and can handle a async port speed of 115200.
The Adtran 5600 can only handle a maximum of 57600 on the async serial
port, which is just not enough to saturate a 56K sync line.
