Mike, I'd try replacing the cable first if you have one available. Even if the DS3 isn't configured correctly your interface should be up if you're router is speaking to your IDSU. I'd also try resetting the IDSU to its defaults just to make sure something in the config on the IDSU isn't breaking communication with the router. If the serial line comes up at that point you'll know it's a config issue.
It's been a while since I even looked at an IDSU (even though we have almost an identical setup) and I don't recall what options are available so I might be way off base. If I can find the documentation I'll take a look at it and see if anything else comes to mind.
