re: notebook PC as console
Mind the blimey wrap! This has a legacy parallel, 2 legacy DB serial
port, and of course, USB. Should help!

Also, remember that Windows NT does NOT support USB; Windows 98 does,
and so does little Windows 2000. Windows 95 goes "Duh! I smell USB!
What USB smell like?" then you kick it real hard (kludges, drivers),
and it works until you start to rely on it, then it crashes. Really,
you should say that Windows 95 doesn't support USB. That is a better
answer!

Conversation: notebook PC as console
Subject: Re: notebook PC as console
This question was posted by me to the newsgroup earlier - what if you
are
buying one of those new legacy-free PCs that has only USB ports ? I
searched
on the Belkin web site but did not find the USB-to-Serial converter. Let
me
know the part number if you know it.
Thanks,

RE: notebook PC as console
Hi Priscilla, If the notebook does not have any serial ports (9-pin-male or 25-pin-mail) you can get a usb-to-serial converter. I do not know wheither you can get Cisco USB console cables, but it might be worth a search. A USB to 25-pin Serial can be found here: Goto http://www.provantage.com and search for DLNK13U - they have 1 in stock!!!
