Your going to have to have CSUs between the routers most likely w/crossover between the CSUs.
Back-to-back with Nortels requires internal clocking be set on both sides (this is w/v.35 cables). cisco's work fine w/internal on 1 side. Friends of mine tried several custom v.35 dte/dce crossovers with no luck. If you have internal CSUs in the routers (WIC-T1, MCT1, 56k CSU, etc) then that shouldn't be a problem since it's a CSU/DSU interface and you have standard 56 or T1 cable pinout to cross, depending on module type. You will need to run PPP between them; I have a doc on that if you need it. MPPP works. Nortel routers are rock solid IMHO. Might not be as feature rich but they rock for general routing stuff.
