I am trying to configure an analog lease line to connect to a 2621 via an NM-8A/S. The modem is currently connected to a RedHat box on the remote side and a FreeBSD box on our side. I want to move from the FreeBSD box to the 2621.
I need to use the following:
Static IP (remote side)
Compression
No authentication (if possible)
Need to be up without any disconnects due to idle timeouts.
The modem (local side) is set to answer mode and will sync with other end. The port speed on the modem is set to 38.4k. We can get the line status to show the line is up, but the protocol is down. The remote side RedHat box can't start the PPPD when connected to the Cisco, but as soon as we switch back to the FreeBSD it works.
Below is my port configuration..
interface Serial1/7
physical-layer async
description My happy customer
bandwidth 38
ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.21 255.255.255.252
encapsulation ppp
autodetect encapsulation ppp
async default routing
async mode dedicated
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks

The modems are in a dumb state since they can sync regardless of being connected to a piece of equipment or not.
This may be similar to a back to back configuration between routers, but only in async mode.
I just don't know which way to turn..
