Try the command physical layer async!

By default cisco routers are configured for sync mode only, in order to hook up the external modem you can use this command
physical layer-async ( Means you are configuring this
port for async connection)

Thanks ,
Sorry to answer you late , I was out of the country !
I tried to use phsyical layer-async but the IOS ( 12.0(28a) does not support such command , is it from the IOS or WIC it self ?
Best Regards

I thought the WIC-1T did not support async, but then I found this document:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps3129/products_tech_note09186a00800b0859.shtml
The last paragraph is quite cryptic: If your platform supports async, then use the physical-layer async command for async mode. Such an application is useful to connect an external modem to the router. Refer to the document 2 Port Async/Sync WAN Interface Card (WIC-2A/S) for an example. FWIW, I don't really understand that. I wonder what it means about "if your platform supports async"? I would have expected async to be a feature of the WIC, not of the platform. But maybe it is determined by the controller, which would be on he platform.
Here is the document it refers to:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/107/wic-2as.shtml
But that seems to be for a different WIC: the WIC-2A/S.
My guess is that the WIC-1T does not support async, and that the reference to "platform" in the WIC-1T document actually means the WIC-2A/S. Does anyone know differently?
I just tried setting a WIC-1T in a 2610 with 12.2 to async, and failed to do it:
Hurd#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Hurd(config)#int s0/0
Hurd(config-if)#phy?
% Unrecognized command
