Hi there !

I would like to use a linux box as a router between an ethernet and
synchronous serial line.
Do you know if synchronous serial card (64 kbps) exists for PC ?
If it exists, does Linux support, or going to support it ?

Thanks for any positive ore negative answers.

Me too! I'm looking for the same thing! Black Box sells some, but I
have no idea if they work with linux. Anyone?

We can supply you with the card but not the drivers for linux.

Is there anybody out there willing to write them?
Contact me.

We can supply a sync card including a linux driver. It works as a
network module. The card runs up to 2MBit/s. We just encapsulate the
IP packets into an HDLC frame (flag/IP/CRC/flag) or if you have a
CISCO at the other side we support the CISCO HDLC format also. The
physical interface is X.21(15 pin). Internal/external clocking is
available (DTE /DCE modes).

There is a socond solution we can offer : a bridge that you connect
directly to the AUI port of your ethernet card (no external power
supply). It bridges the ethernet frame (filtering is available).

For cards that are at least similar, see:
