Bill is correct, is a synchronous serial network interface. DDCMP is a
DECnet protocol and allows the device to be MOP booted over DECNET if
you've got the ROM for it. I've got a couple of these (plus some with S-box
handles) and would love to get the technical specs on them. Then I could
hook them up to a CSU/DSU and run Frame relay lines around my house :-)
