Need server help...w/pix

[narzy]

Ok collective, I need some help to make sure I get the right cable so I can finally console in to this server and set it up...I need the cable that fits the serial port ya know the serial console cable...if you have one and are in the Salem or Portland area LMK via PM or I'll give you my cell, maybe I can buy it off of you?

Well, the server end of the connection needs a female end. Does your laptop need a female end as well? Female-->Female Serial cables are easy to come by...pretty common, actually.

BTW: Unless a local firewall policy prohibits it otherwise, you can connect via USB and still get in via TELNET.

Sounds like you need a null modem cable (9 pin).

Radio Shack will have them.
