Re: Quick Survey: Con or Aux?
Hi all, Anybody got any good links or info for connecting modem to console. I've been messing with a Multitech modem, trying to get the connection to console perfect. After various problems with modem init strings such as echo on causing a loop with router, I am getting towards suitable settings, but still experiencing some problems with connection dropping during set-up (2 or 3 times out of 10). Never seems to fail once exec-timeout has expired, although it does work fairly regularly before it's timed out. Search on CCO seems to point to the fact that console should never be used for modem connection for the security reasons already mentioned previously in this thread, and goes on to explain aux port connection. Sort of thing I would like to see is suggestions for flow control settings on modem, speed for remote hyperterminal session. I seem to get away with just about anything, but I would like to know the ideal.

You can use both Console and Aux to connect a modem, but as Tony is syggesting use only the console for this kind of thinks !

Re: Quick Survey: Con or Aux?
I take it that you meant a modem hooked up to a router. Correct?

Re: Quick Survey: Con or Aux?
Hooking up to a console maybe not so good. Should you want to do some debugs and your console decides to lock up what then?? I would suggest using the aux with no logging console set. Worst case scenario is having to login using the console to do what maybe required. Really using the con should only happen when needed.
