The DCS90 will do aswell. It is a twin line board on the ethernet, much like the
DNS-ES but available from multiple hosts. It is a CSS product.

2424.3More details on supported sync comms optionsSNYBOY::HARTWIGArthur Hartwig, TaN Engineering-AustraliaWed Feb 05 1997 18:2420
Neil's reply prompted me to update this note.

The "plug-in" sync options on systems currently manufactured are:

PBXDP-Ax	PCI sync card: 2, 4 and 8 port variants;
		V.24 (RS-232), V.35, X.21 and EIA-530 supported
		All ports at over 2Mbps.

PBXDI-Ax	ISA sync card, 2 and 4 port variants;
		V.24 (RS-232), V.35, X.21 and EIA-530 supported
		All ports at over 2Mbps.

DNSES		EISA sync card, 2 ports only
		V.24 (RS-232), V.35 and X.21 supported
		2 ports at 64kbps or 1 port at 2Mbps.

The software for PBXDx cards supports HDLC framing only (protocols 
LAPB, DEC HDLC, X.25). There is software for the DNSES and DCS-90 
to support a variety of other protocols (e.g. DDCMP, Bisync, SS7
- consult the individual product's documentation for the specifics)
