Just want to caution you on buying these cheap crossover cables. The ones mentioned refer to the kind of cable where the pins are NOT solid pins but two pins paired as one. The solid pins are ROUNDED tips whereas the paired ones of course are not. This makes a difference when you are removing/inserting the cable when working on different scenarios. If you are not careful, the paired pins can easily get split or bent and even worse chip the plastic casing of the serial interface on your router. Whereas with the rounded tip (just like the original Cisco cables) don't have this problem and are easier to work with. If i were you, I'd get the more expensive one which i've found only from networkhardware.com. If you still want to buy the cheaper ones, let me know off line and i'll sell you what i've got since i'm in the process of replacing all of those with the solid-pin type.
