A company I work for is getting an Internet connection. We would like to have a 56K leased line to the service provider (cost $142.10 + $275 per month). The service provider charges a large setup fee for this type of connection because the install a router (Livingston) with the CSU/DSU. Does anyone know if I can connect a 56K CSU/DSU with an RS-232 connection to a serial port, which can sustain 56K, on my mail/news system instead of using a router? ________________________________________________________________________ Bill Keenan Internet: wjk@phonogenic.com -or- phngnc!wjk AppleLink: wjk@phonogenic.com@INTERNET# CompuServe: >INTERNET:wjk@phonogenic.com Phonogenic Systems Corporation - Phone 415/365-1083 - FAX 415/365-1083 PO Box 3535, Redwood City CA 94064 This country borrows about $4.25 per day per US resident (that is $17/day for a family of 4) with little hope of paying any of the principal!

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.
