Generally, a TA has a serial port that plugs into a host computer. The only ISDN equipment that I've seen that use ethernet are actual ISDN routers. In the case of a router, the host simply talks ethernet to the router which in turn handles terminating the ISDN line and doing PPP. Was there any documentation that came with this TA that explained what host protocol was required?
