561.0. "ISDN on AlphaStation 600/333 with Cisco Router" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Kriti Kapoor) Thu Feb 13 1997 04:05

Hi,

My customer's got the following CISCO Routers : 765 and 2503.
And he's got an AlphaStation 600/333 MHz with an ethernet network
adapter.

Is it possible to connect the AlphaStation 600 to their ISDN network?
I was wondering if we could use a cable to connect the network adapter 
to the CISCO router that would in turn be connected to the ISDN?
If this is possible, would I use a standard ethernet cable - either
the BNC or the RJ-45 on the AlphaStation?

Any ideas?

	I haven't a clue, but ...

>Any ideas?

	... it should be possible.

	You don't say what sort of application, or even OS (VMS, Unix, etc)
	you have on the Alpha.

	Basically if the Alpha is generating some sort of routeable data,
	such as DECnet or IP, then the CISCO will route it from the Ethernet
	to another datalink - which would be the ISDN port. I assume that
	there is something similar at the other end of the ISDN connection.

	As for Ethernet cables, I don't know what connection types these 
	particular CISCOs  have, but I can't see it being a problem. If all
	else fails, there's no shortage of adapter types.
