Dear Edwin and ALL, I think i was not very clear. We have now a pathrouter here and a Cisco 2509 router on the other side ( The backbone presence provider ). The connection is at 256Kbps via fractional E1. I would like to put one of the ports from etinc ( 0 or 1 ) connected to the CSU/DSU ( Converter ) and take out the cyclades router ( FreeBSD is quite better than a single router ). My CSU/DSU has a V.35 cable that works very fine with no problem if i connect it to a Cyclades, Cisco, IBM router but not with etinc ( putting etinc instead of the router ). I thought it could be a cable incompatibility but it seems quite strange, as all routers work with it. I tryed connecting RXclockA to TxclockA and TxclockB to RxclockB on etinc but it did not work as well. Why should the converter not work with etinc and work with a router?
