Most 56K CSU/DSUs are synchronous beasties, and your mail/news system's serial ports are probably asynchronous beasties. The two won't talk. Some CSU/DSUs can talk to an async serial port and convert the data stream into sync before putting the bits on the wire. This would be the sort you'd probably need with your current setup. Alternatively, you could run synchronous PPP on your mail/news system, which would turn it into a sync-PPP router that would talk to most 56K CSU/DSUs. You'd need (a) synchronous PPP software and (b) appropriate synchronous hardware.
