Cleve, Most of our network equipment is 3Com switches. We have a Cisco router connecting us to the Internet.
I mostly use SecureCRT to connect to the serial port on the switches. Unless I can telnet to the switch. But sometimes you really need a serial cable to do certain things. Like fix a firmware upgraded that fouled up in the middle. We really should have bought laptops with serial ports, but when we pick what we want, we're not the actual person who orders the box so we don't always get what we want/need. It's a poor system. We've decided that we don't do that anymore. :) -- Brad Bendily - CNA On Wed, 2 Jul 2003, Cleve Allison wrote: > Brad, > which terminal program to you like using when programming your net equipment. > I'm a Cisco shop...how about you? > Cleve > > > At 07:57 AM 7/2/2003, you wrote: > >Hi Everyone, > >I'm just curious if anyone has any experience > >with a USB to Serial (DB9) cable?
