For Bisync/RJE on an IBM-PC try AST-BSC, from:

AST Research, Inc.
Irvine, CA
(714) 863-1333

It consists of their CC-432 board (RS-232, single port, multi-protocol
serial chip [Z80B-SIO]) bundled with their Bisync emulation software.
I think it's around $600.00.  AST has distributors all over; and many
dealers that stock their more normal products, such as the Six-Pak Plus,
can order this one, even if they have never heard of it before.

I don't have any experience with it personally, but we bought one a few
years back for testing purposes, and one fellow at this outfit used it
successfully.  (We make data communications stuff, so we needed a Bisync
box against which to test our product.)
