Eric,
If I remember correctly, that was a CSU for a T1 line, besides the 15pin
AUI connector on it, does it have an RJ45 type port on it that says NI on it
or another AUI port, as it may be a DDS56K CSU or an old Network Bridge
between two vlans.

Subject: trying to identify this 68K-based board...
It is an ISA-16 card. It has a 68000, w/2 27128
EEPROMs, 16 1259-15 RAM
chips
and Intel
chips, 82586 and 8253-5. The rest looks to be TTL, a couple of connectors
and
couple of
crystals, 16 and 20 MHz.
It was made by Bridge Communications, USA, in 1987. And it has a D-shell
15
pin (like a
Mac video -2 rows of pins) female connector on the back.
Just did a Google search on 'Bridge Communications." Had several hits that
had
absolutely
nothing to do with computers and electronics, more at the health industry.
Andway, any
info about this card appreciated.
I guess I could through in into an old AT system and see what it does.
There
are a few jumpers
marked 'int' and 'address' that might be worth finding out about before
running a "smoke" test.
My guess is that it is some sort of CPU board, but what?
Eric
