Hi Wayne, That line in the "sh int" shows the results of Layer 1 and Layer 2. The first part indicates that the hardware (layer 1) is working. The second part indicates there is a problem with Layer 2. Which could be: clocking mismatch, keepalive mismatch, frame mismatch, wrong signalling type. Did you change the default serial encapsulation of HDLC to something else? Cisco HDLC is proprietary to Cisco and will only let you connect to another Cisco device.
