Does anyone know of an adapter that will go from RJ-45 to either RS-232/RS-449/V.35? Thanks to this list(you all are great!)I was able to get into my router and remove ALL passwords and settings and start working. Since I'm a total newb, I'm trying to figure out how to connect the cat V cable to the router (hint: it's not a Cisco). Regardless, I found a device that will convert from V.35 to RJ-45 but it was way to much for this training I'm doing. I'll spend the money on a good Cisco router before I pop for an adapter. Someone throw me a bone...

Thanks,
TJ
 
The only time you should need to convert a rj45 cable to rs232 is for the console port.

If the connection for the LAN to your router is not rj45 but a 15 pin D-type you'll need a media converter from AUI to Ethernet

Hope this makes sense.

Makes perfect (unfortunate)sense. Thanks for the help.
