I guess what I mean is: when the 56kb line drops (thus turning the serial 
interface red) the BRIO port should turn from red to green. Right now netview 
is telling all the time that my BRIO ports are down when in fact they should be 
down unless the 56kb link dies. Maybe the ruleset needs to written in TEC. I'm 
not sure. I hope this is a little clearer.

Please elaborate more on what you are trying to accomplish.

(1) What is your ruleset supposed to do?   The scenario is not obvious to
me.

(2) How do you propose to write the ruleset when there is no ruleset editor
on NT?

We have cisco 2503 routers deployed in all of our bank branches. There's to
serial ports and one BRIO (ISDN Dial-up port).

The serial port connects to a 56kb frame relay link. So a normal status of
the router should show serial port up and BRIO down. When the 56kb link
goes down the BRIO should dial-up to get the branch back online.

I need help with writing a rule set that will cover the above scenerio. Any
help would be much appreciated, since I'm very green at writing rule sets.
