I am trying to set up a Sco Openserver 5 box to print to a HP Jet direct server via Cisco routers and ISDN. The routers can ping each other but the Sco box doesn't seem to able to initialise the link or communicate over it once it is up. I presume this is because I haven't configured PPP, (the routers are using PPP). Can anyone help me to set this up.

I think you are going to need to give a bit more explanation than this. I for one haven't a clue what you are trying to ask.

Does SCO know to get to router2 thru router1?
does router2 know to get to SCO thru router1?

The two routers can connect to each other with no problem, I have put a static route in Sco to point to the far end network via the local router. If you do a traceroute to the far end router it knows to go via the local router but cann't reach the far end. There are no translations involved.
Remember, the stuff at the other end of the router needs a route BACK too. It's not enough for the router to know how to get back to the SCO box, the printer itself needs to know also- and it has a place to set a default route (which should be its router of course Tony Lawrence
