If you know the Black Box part numbers, you may still be able to find 
the documentation for them. They have manuals for many of their older 
devices in PDF files on their web site, or a request to their support 
line may produce a hard copy. I used to be on their mailing list, as we 
resold assorted converter boxes from them for many years. I don't know 
how many Telco Line Bridges, line drivers and RS232->485 converters we 
have bought and installed in the 22 years I have been working with them.
