Making an MMJ
cable is a piece of cake. Just take the retention clip
off of the RJ11 at the end of a phone cord. Crimp an RJ45 on the
other end with the proper wires heading to the proper pins, and use a
Cisco RJ45->DE9 adapter.
If you're using the right Cisco adapter on the other end
(labelled "Terminal" usually, but not "Modem", basically any DB25 or
DE9 adapter that's got a female end), you shouldn't need to recrimp the
other end. Just shove the RJ11 into the adapter and
the 'ez-disconnect' end into the MMJ jack.
Wow. That's cool. That'll save me some time next time.
Peace... Sridhar
If you
don't find one, you can still use a MMJ serial
cable/console to boot it.
I don't own a serial terminal. I'd have to try
to make a cable and
hook it to a PC and use a terminal emulator. Yet more complexity!
