Both back-to-back routers can use DTE. They do in my lab. The crossover can be handled by a synchronous modem eliminator (SME). That's how we always used to do it, both in labs and real-world applications. There's more info here: http://www.bomara.com/ecd/smev35.htm or simply look up SME V.35 on google for lots of info. >The easiest way to > accomplish > this is buying a crossover cable from the sources already > mentioned. That's true. The crossover cables are simpler to use, don't require power, of course, and are less expensive (though not cheap!)
