That's another problem. :-)
First you need to find a synch card, then you need to find/write a

RCB> Where may be found this type of modem?
A CSU/DSU isn't a modem. It's *digital* interface, not an analog one.
These are old and fairly obsolete. They're intended for leased lines or
possibly the old "switched 56k" service.
