It may be that it is actually a 2501 and the serial link is attached to
a terminal adapter (we used to do this with JTEC TA's in them thar good
ole days the micro channel switching type (ts013) in the land of Oz)
which would give the ISDN connectivity. Either way then the answers
below are still valid (ie what Jenny said)
BTW - I wonder when Cisco will finally change its recommended Australian
type to net3/net5 - the ETSI standard. The old switch type is still in
its latest books and manuals - has anyone told the yet?
Take care all -
