Priscilla,
I usually look forward to your posts, but I think you are way off base with
this response. Pointing to the cisco page describing different technologies
does absolutely nothing to answer my original question. I also relize that
a converter/transiever such as this would have limited use in a real world
situation, but that certainly does not mean it doesnt exist.
Obvoiusly we can move data between ethernet and serial, that is what is
being done in the router itself, so your train/bus senario is meaningless.
What I was looking for was an external device that can do this without
resorting to using another router such as -->>
ethernet -->routerA rj45 ----routerA serial --->routerB serial ----routerB
rj45--->ethernet
I want to do:
ehternet ---> external converter ---->routerA serial---routerA
rj45 --->ethernet
