| I'm connecting the DecBrouter to a synchronous modem.
At the other side, i have another synchronous modem and an interface
ACB56(producer SeaLevel) V.35.
All the products have been already sold, so you have suggested the
terminal server because this solution don't work or because it is cheaper?
If it doesn't work,can you explain me why?Is the ppp encapsulated at
other level 2 protocol?
Thank You

Hi Tula,
According to SeaLevel the SEALEVEL ACB 56 provides the PC with two
communication ports, a single Synchronous Asynchronous channel
jumper selectable as RS-232 or V.35.
Now if the ACB56 is configured for Sync and is running PPP
over the Sync correctly and the call takes place to your DECbrouter
then the DECbrouter interface should come up. If this happens then
the connection is established. Next step is to see if the line
protocol PPP comes up. You can see the state on the DECbrouter
by doing a "Show interface"
If this occurs and IP is enabled on the appropriate interface then
DECbrouter should communicate with the Windows 95 system. Although
I've never done this, I don't see any reason why it should not work
if the line protocol comes up ok then PPP is working between the 2
systems.
A good test would be to try and connect 2 Windows95 systems with
ACB56 Sync Modems together and seing if it works with Microsofts
PPP.

My reason for mentioning the Terminal server is due to it having
Async ports for modem connections. I was not aware that you had
a Sync Modem in the Windows95 System. Also a DECbrouter is a very
expensive method of connecting a remote single end system to your
network. An Access "Terminal" Server would be much cheaper and allow
more client systems to connect.
