It's used to connect a router console output to a PC input. Most commonly found on Cisco routers actually. It doesn't talk TCP/IP I think. IIRC I used to connect using telnet over a serial line, and the cable was a weird blue hybrid with a serial jack on one end and a RJ45 head on the other end. =) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollover_cable http://www.jlsnet.co.uk/index.php?page=cc_dialup XuanYou -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
