OK, RS6000 null modem cable in *bad* ascii art:
2 ----\/---- 2
3 ----/\---- 3
4 ----\/---- 4
5 ----/\---- 5
6 --| |-- 6
7 --|----|-- 7
8 --+-\/-+-- 8
20 ----/\---- 20
23 ---------- 23
What this means is... 2 and 3 cross over. (Big surprise for a null
modem.) 4 and 5 cross over, 6 and 8 on one side connect to 20 on the
other, 7 goes straight through as does 23. Clear?
Hopefully this makes sense and works for you. It has worked for me with
a 7011 (which I can't boot, but can mess with on the serial port) and a
6611 router.
Good Luck
Steve
