This is true. We use modems connected to the AUX port for dial backup and I can always RT to the modem to check things out. It's not necessary very often but it's easy to do. The downside is that the modem must be configured to match the speed and flow control settings of the AUX port before RT will work.
So, yes, you can modify the modem config or manually test dialout using RT, but you have to do some configuration with the modem before you even connect it to the router. Think of RT as tunneling an asynchronous serial connection using IP. This isn't precise but you get the idea. It doesn't really matter what you're RT'ing to as long as it's asynchronous serial and can be connected to the router. You can RT from one router to another or from a router to another serial device, such as a modem. The idea is the same, really. HTH, John >>> "Ray Smith" 10/3/01 9:21:11 AM >>> Guys, Correct me if I am wrong, but are there several ways of doing a reverse telnet? When the term reverse telnet surfaces I think of a console connection via a terminal server to another router or switch using an ip address and port number (eg. 10.10.5.1 2001). However, based on what I am reading I can also connect to a US Robotics modem via that same terminal server to configure it. I am not very savy in the area of dial-up and would like one of you gurus to clarify for me.
