I forgot to mention that the null modem cable that I got was from radio
shack. It cost me around a whole 6 bucks. It is just 2 db9 connectors. The
newt cable I have is db9 on the end so I just plug it between the cables.
The db9 null modem also comes in handy for other devices besides cisco gear.
I work on all kinds of different equipment. One thing I saw a while back was
a adapter that automatically sensed what it needed to do to communicate. I
can not remember where I found it at and have not been able to relocate it
as of yet.
