4500M+?????

How can I make use of my 4500? I'm not too familiar with the modules I can purchase. I still need a frame relay and a terminal server are anyone of those posible with this? If so how and if not what else can I do with this?

for frame grab a 4 port serial module NP-4T. It has the same DB60 connectors as the 2500 series. 3ft DCE/DTE cables are about $5 each new on ebay from a couple of outfits in California. Actually the cables are cheaper shipping is more. Creative bookeeping I guess. WIC to DB60 are about $15 if you have newer routers to connect.

The NP-4T normally goes for $50 to $80 unless you get lucky. However that is about the cost of a 2520 maybe more. I use a 8 port 2523 for a frame switch.

Terminal servers are best done with a 2509 to save cash, 2511's go for a premium if you need more than 8 lines. Modules for 4500 are not really around.

NP-4B is a 4 port ISDN if you plan on locating a simulator.
NP-1E or NP-2E are 1 and two port ethernet
NP-1FE is 1 port fast ethernet
There are fiber modules but I don't remember numbers
