As I mentioned in another reply, I have a pair of baseband synchronous mode
and were it not for a speed incompatibility between them and the MicroVAX
synchronous serial interfaces I have access to, ...
I'm curious about that. Synchronous modems supply the bit clock to the
interface. So a synchronous interface works at whatever speed the modem
delivers, so long as it's not too fast for the interface. What are the
Microvax sync interfaces you have? DMV? DUV? A DMV will work at up to
56 kbps.
There is conflicting information about what exactly the interface I have
which is fitted in a MicroVAX 3100 is called. It looks most likely to be a
DSH32 or a DSH32-B which may amount to the same thing but it could also be
a DST32 which may also amount to the same thing... Documentation suggests
that the synchronous interface part of a DSH32 (which for added confusion
is referred to as DSH32-S) is DSV11 compatible but limited to a maximum
of 19200 bps.
The modems I have (which were intended for use with 64 kbps lines attached
to Cisco routers) don't have jumpers for clock speeds lower than 48 kbps.

Peter.
