Subject: Console & Modem cable for OR-x
I would like to request the console cable included with all Office Routers
be modified to a dual purpose cable
Instead of only including the Null Modem cable for the Office Router,
modify the cable so it is an RJ48 on each end, then include 2 different
head shells, or db25/rj48 female
One shell would be the current null modem for console config, the other
would be for use with an external modem. Many of my customers use the
console port to attach an external modem to serve PPP off of it, but the
cost of the modem cable from Livingston is very high.
I would think this would also be more cost effective than the current
cable, but I have no clue how cheap the console cable is that is currently
included. I think my suggestion in qty would be in the $4-5 range, total
cost.
