comp.dcom.lans is not QUITE the right group for this, but seeing as
its parent group doesn't exist, nor does net.dcom, it's all I've got.
Is it possible to connect a DEC DMR-11 or DMV-11 synchronous interface
running in maintenance mode to another vendor's synchronous hardware?
I'd like to hope that the only problem is the mini-header which the
DMR prepends and strips off which contains a checksum, and that in
other respects, the data stream could be read by most any synchronous
cards. Information on the format of the stream (HDLC bit-stuffing?
byte-synchronous?) would be helpful, as would the exact format of
the packet which gets sent by the DMR hardware.
Just to clarify my question, I'm not interested in higher-level protocol
issues, and maintenance mode turns off DDCMP.
