Probably. What are the specs on the serial interface on the Bay router? It's probably something standard like V.35. Cisco's serial interfaces are standard too. If you can't find the right cable for sale, you could build one. Another possibility is a V.35 synchronous modem eliminator. Search for that on Google and you'll see that a few vendors make these. You could probably find one on e-Bay too. They have been used for years to connect devices from various vendors back-to-back. Cisco and Bay certainly coexisted for years. I'm sure Cisco and Nortel can too. You can get just about anything to talk to anything with enough knowledge of the interfaces and a willingness to tinker.
