There are also The SDL Communications RisCom cards. They have several
models with and without CSUs. We used to use these in a router product
and had a fair amount of success with them.
According to AltaVista, SDL has a website at www.sdlcomm.com, but I
couldn't reach them just now when I tried. Don't know if it's changed,
down, or disappeared.
If you happen to write a driver for these cards, definitely let everyone
know. Someday maybe I'll have a need for a sync serial port again...
