Use the ISU-Express from Adtran It will handle the Sync-Async PPP
conversion. (saves money on a serial card) The ISU-Express can also be
purchased with a POTS line option (Plain-Old Telephone Service) that will
let you use your old analog line on your BRI.
115 or 128 IS the extra 12kps worth the money to get a SYNC card? I
don't know, you'll have to decide.
