a long time since i had to worry about this stuff, but try one of the IBM
redbooks:

1 thing to watch for is that there are lots of varients of Byisync - you
need to check for the specific devices types rather than the protocol.
a search on the cisco site for "ibm bisync" gives 200+ answers - but most
seem to be about tunnelling bisync.
