Yes...
Apparently, the (US-based) author was rather confused about ISDN.
A common situation in 1994, so I don't blame him.

Well, 1618 says this should be done only in the presence of prior 
configuration (default is bit-sync, which is unfortunate, but reality).

Yes.
The "right thing" would be to write this simple document up again, 
removing all the cruft (octet-sync, BONDING, V.120 -- does anybody else 
feel a dozen years younger? :-), and moving it on to DS.
*THAT* would be de-crufting.
