Here's a link on building a management cable for the Cisco 67x DSL

»www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk175/t···33.shtml

An alternative is to use a straight RJ-45 CAT5 cable, and purchase an RJ-45 to DB-9 Female adapter (example: »www.sealevel.com/product_detail.···_Adapter) and wire up the pins you need. The Cisco 67x only uses three wires for communication, depending on the colored wires inside the adapter:

Flat Standard: YELLOW->2, GREEN->3, RED->5
568B Standard: GREEN->2, WHITE/BLUE->3, BLUE->5

Cut or individually tape up the unused wires in the RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter so they don't touch or short out. Plug the adapter into a serial port on your computer, and the RJ-45 cable between the adapter and the management port of your 67x.

The Cisco 67x DSL router uses a different management cable than the Console cable used on other Cisco products (2500, etc.), so if you find one for sale or on an auction, be sure it is specifically for the Cisco 67x.
