Modem to Aux 0

[ElijahBaley]

Hi

I have not got a serial/com port on my laptop so am unable to log into the comsole port on my router, this might be a silly question but I just wondered if it was possible to directly connect my modem to the Aux port?

I think that hyperterminal would require a dial up number to use the modem so is there any way around this?

FYI - I know that I could set the laptop on the same subnet and connect to a ethernet port and telnet, but I just wondered if the above was posssible

Thanks for your help

You could hook up a modem to the Aux port to use it to dial into the router, however, extensive configuration is required to be performed on the router before it starts working.

Thanks

That is what I suspected!
