Maybe I'm just dense, but I never saw the part of this conversation where we were talking about CONVERTING from sync to async, I assumed that you'd either be talking sync-sync on both sides or doing async-async and skipping the overhead because you'd never _get_ 64Kbps of syncronous data from the other end to pad out with start and stop bits. Yes, you and Greg are perfectly correct then and I'm arguing a totally different and erroneous argument. I'll shut up now and spare -hackers any more input on ISDN from this end.. :-) Jordan
