So that is a specialized cable then?  The connector looks like very
different from anything else (like a very small centronics port) and it sits
to the right of the RJ45 phone line connector.  So there is a cable I buy
for this and I can connect a "regular" external modem to it and it will do
SDLC?

If so, cool!

It's probably a $500 cable...knowing IBM's over-engineering on
cables....probably weighs 25lbs and is 50 feet long!
