You didn't mention which version of 1600 you have. Here's a cut from a Cisco document: "The serial WAN port on the Cisco 1601 R router supports asynchronous serial connections of up to 115.2 kbps and synchronous serial connections-such as Frame Relay, leased lines, Switched 56, Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS), and X.25-of up to 2.048 Mbps. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps214/products_data_sheet0918 6a0080091ff4.html
So, if you have a 1601R, the answer is yes you can connect a modem. I'll assume the interface is 60 pin. The cable for that would be a CAB-232MT= 60 pin to 25 pin EIA/TIA 232 male. Configure your serial port to be asynchronous. Your serial int will have a different number. R1(config)#int s5 R1(config-if)#physical-layer async See if it changed interface Serial5 physical-layer async no ip address ! line 5 ! You can do a "show line" as well. Then configure the line. R1(config)#line 5 R1(config-line)#login R1(config-line)#password cisco R1(config-line)#modem inout R1(config-line)#transport input all R1(config-line)#speed 115200 (or whatever you want) R1(config-line)#stopbits 1 R1(config-line)#flowcontrol hardware R1(config-line)# This should get you close.
