Not worth dragging this one out much longer. the router model is 36xx, which alone should be a big clue. the router is situated so I can easily get to the serial ports, leaving the aux and con ports up against the wall, so I have to reach behind, feel around with my fingers, find the port, and fumble around some more to plug in. all other models I have worked with have the con and aux port on the same side of the box as the data ports. I guess the last time I used it I was fooling around with aux port settings. it just never occurred to me that I was in the aux.
DOH! On the other hand, all was not lost. I've had a good time simulating my customer network, checking out my policy routing etc. interesting design. on the clever side if I do say so myself. works like a charm, which means the implementation people either aren't getting it, or the vlans are not configured correctly on the switch. more on that another time.
