Hey gang, I'm admittedly not much of a serial cable guru and this is beating my brains out! I have a couple of 3000 routers with DB25 console ports (the pinout below was taken from CCO). I wired this to a DB9-RJ45 plug but I'm not doing something right. For example, do I need to cross the TD and RD signals? When it says "shorted, does that mean the wire is cut going back to the other end and the 2 local wires are basically looped together? Do RTS and CTS go straight through? I could buy these for $50-something each or make them for $5...not much of a choice if I can get this to work. Any help would be really appreciated!
