Where can I find information for configuring a csu/dsu for use with a router in a corporate wan environment. Preferably something online and free. Thanks in advance!

Your best source is going to be the manufacturer's Web site for the device you have in front of you.

However, most CSU/DSU devices are pretty much non-configurable black boxes with an interface to the telco circuit (be it T1, FT1, 56k or whatever) and an interface (usually v.35 serial) to the router. All the real configuration work is done either at the telco switch or at the router. The only options at the CSU level are typically things like which side (DTE or DCE) supplies the syncronization clock signal and you can usually just use the defaults unless you're trying to do something new and interesting like connecting two CSU units back-to-back in a test lab.
