Richard,

64KM link hey? Pretty impressive!

As for the Cisco tail (It's RP-TNC by the way), you will be able to purchase
them from www.austwireless.com the connectors are not listed on the website,
but if you email them they will be able to get you a quote on what you
require. Theres some options in some of the Cisco's to define how far away
you are from the other node and it adjusts some of the settings for parts
which help in long distance links etc.

If it doesn't work, keep fiddling until it works better!

Best of luck.
