Cisco has IP-over-BSC tunnelling capabilty. Unless that's changed dramatically in recent years, that's just a serial tunneling of the BSC traffic over an IP network, and you still need something with BSC ports at the other end (ie a 3745 or equivalent).

CCL is definitely the right solution for replacing NCP, but BSC support is going to be hard. There are BSC to SDLC converters, but they're expensive and hard to find, and there aren't too many people left alive that know how to configure one. It may be time to bite the bullet and replace the BSC
