Subject: Re: [SLE] Console to Cisco router and firewall
I have used both minicom and cu (from the uucp rpm) to talk to Cisco
routers, terminal servers, 3Com and Bay switches, etc., with no
problems. Can you be more explicit about the "cisco things" that minicom,
etc. don't like?
It isn't evident from your comments whether you get any response at all
from the routers, or just garbage. If you get nothing from the box, be
sure you have the right serial cable (null modem or
straight-through). I know Cisco has two different DB-9 to RJ-45 adapters,
one for straight-through (modem connections) and a null modem variant (for
direct PC connections), too, so be sure you've got the right combination.

Sorry, a simple question.
I need to talk to my office's Cisco router and Pix firewall, the vendor told
me to use hyper terminal in NT/9x which the whole cabinet of servers are all
SuSE Linux. : )
Can someone point me to the right way to get it work? I tried minicom, etc
but they are don't care about (the cisco things).
Help and thanks.
