You need to connect your standard cisco rolled console cable to a serial
port, not a parallel port. On the 3000 side, you'll probably want to use
the RJ45-DB25 adapter marked "modem", not "terminal". On the PC side, an
RJ45-DB9 adapter is probably what you're after.
Your other option is to use a standard straight through serial cable, which
will also work perfectly fine. PC serial cables that are DB9 female on one
end and DB25 male on the other are fairly common.

Yep, that'll work just fine.
