Patreon Vid: AUX Dial-up Success!
🕑 Added 2025-01-23 05:35:43 +0000 UTCFinally figured out why I couldn't dial into a Cisco 2509's AUX port using USR modems. Who had their money on... cabling?

Yes! I'd heard about those black cables
John Bailey
This makes total sense. That black cable was shipped with some models of routers. The black cables were always intended for the AUX port.

Naw I bought one, but I'll probably trace the pins eventually in case I need to build more.

"Who had their money on... cabling?" Looks from the comments at least 3 of us...

Serial port variations used to be the bane of my existence when i worked in DC's. I'm sure at one point i spotted a device that could essentially switch around various combinations really easily without carrying 20 different variations.

Glad to hear it finally worked. Did you build your own cable?
