According to the specs files at
http://www.multitech.com/support/manuals/82097300.pdf and
http://www.multitech.com/products/DataSheets/139.pdf
the ISI4604-PCI or ISI4608-PCI cards provide a "fan-out cable" with
four/eight separated DB25M (RS-232C/D) connectors, not true physical
ports.
Does exist any possible problem using these external connectors or
DB25/DB9 adapters for interfacing ISDN modems or RT datafeed receivers?
In the above 82097300.pdf tech document there is a cable pinout
/wiring diagram.
Thanks,
Albert
