(PM) Async connection using 56K DDS

Hi there.
I've been given the task of setting up a low bandwidth WAN using
portmaster products. Because the agency that we are serving is spread out
over several central offices, the use of Centrex (we're in NYC
Bell-Atlantic territory) is not an option for some of the locations. In
those remote locations, we are going to have dedicated 56K DDS installed.
To keep things simple, I want to have these remote locations "dial" into
the portmaster and establish network links on a subnet, the way I have it
set up using modems and isdn at my other locations. I figure that I can
use a CSU/DSU with an async port (such as an Adtran DSU5600) to do this.
I have never worked with an async CSU/DSU. Does it work like a regular
modem? How do you initiate a communication to the portmaster to establish
a link?
