Hi Cable, A normal PC serial port is async, as in U.Async.R.T, so will not connect to standard sync cisco port. If you really want to run sync then yes, you will need a sync port on the PC but this is minority interest hardware and will not be cheap. Try manufacturers such as Eicon. I would expect a sync serial card to have IP software available but then I've never done it myself. Where is this technical requirement coming from? rgds Marc TXK
