Well, this box was an adventure for sure! First, I was able to upgrade the RAM to 20MB with some old sticks that I almost threw away. Once that was done, I found out that I couldn't copy the latest (still old) IOS to flash... there wasn't any flash! So, I put a bare-minimum config on the 500-CS, including booting the latest IOS via TFTP, as well as a more 'contemporary' config to match the newer IOS via TFTP.
Here is a 'sh ver': Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software IOS (tm) CS Software (CS500-C-M), Version 10.3(19a), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) Copyright (c) 1986-1997 by cisco Systems, Inc.

Give it a try... what actually happens is that you telnet directly to the console port of the client routers using a unique IP address for each async port. Rock on! I hope that this information helps you! ------------------------------------------------------------ Michael Oliver [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://michael.gargantuan.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ ""trammer"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > By any chance would anyone have a sample config for the 500-CS box that they > wouldn't mind posting. > > Trying to get reverse telnet working and most configs are for the 2509-2511. > > > I'm either not looking in the right place or I'm not configuring it right > for this older box. > > > > Thanks in advance. > > > > Cheers.
