I haven't seen a Laptop without a serial port of some kind yet, but that
doesn't mean they don't exist. My company just got me a new Toshiba 2180CDT
and it has one. I just ran across some New Dell Laptops, (Inspirations?)
also and they had a serial port. They might not put it on the spec sheets
anymore because its assumed.?.
Hope I helped,
Rob Michel

Subject: notebook PC as console
Sorry if this topic is way out of line and too stupid for most people, but
I'm really a Mac user, so I have an excuse. Because I will be teaching
Sniffer Pro classes, I have to buy a new notebook PC for taking on the
road. (Can't buy a Mac ;-()
My question: I want the PC to also act as a console port to Cisco routers
and switches. It seems from my cursory investigation that a lot of the
notebook PCs don't have a serial port anymore?? Or am I just not looking
hard enough at the spec sheets?
Many of them have a USB port. But does Cisco use USB for its console ports
yet? I don't think so!?
What do you all use for your PC console for a Cisco router or switch?
Once the router or switch is configured, of course I'll use Telnet to an
Ethernet port, but I'm worried about that initial config.
Thanks
Priscilla
