No serial port

I'm at home on vacation for about 2 weeks and I brought my routers with me, but I unfortunately only brought home a couple of laptops -- without serial ports! All of my desktop machines have serial ports, but they're about 8 hours away by car.
So. . . anyone have any good ideas? Does anyone have experience with those serial -> USB dongles? Maybe I'll just have to wait until I go back.

I just got a couple more USB-Serial adapters from Best Buy recently -- other than being extremely overpriced, they work fine.:mike: Cisco Certifications -- Collect the Entire Set! -

The only problem here being if he decides to play around with routing, he may end up hosing his connection. I'd go with the Serial/USB converter. They work great.Aquabat wrote:do you have your vty lines setup for telnet?

Yea, I might pick one up - 10 bucks at newegg. For practicing, I set up all of the routers from zero when doing a lab - to get used to setting them up. Of course, once things get more complicated I will stop doing that.More systems have been wiped out by admins than any cracker could do in a lifetime.
