I've tried 2 USB to Serial Adapters, one from Belkin, which advertises Mac compatible on the box, and another non name brand. I've tried ssh, telnet, https into the router and I still can't access it.
Wait a sec. You mean you've opened up minicom or your favorite terminal software and set the serial port to 9600bps-8bit-N-1.

Open up a terminal and do a `dmesg` after plugging in the adapter. It should hook up to a tty.

Are you trying to do IP over console port?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19696936 Fri, 28 Dec 2007 07:02:16 EDT Re: [Config] 851W with Mac via USB to Serial Adapter http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19696612 anon : I took some advice from a post in another forum and now use a keyspan serial adapter with my MAC. To use it I open a terminal window and use the screen program to access the keyspan serial port. I have the details regarding using screen written down someplace. If you can't find them via Google I'll look for them and post.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19696612 Fri, 28 Dec 2007 02:17:49 EDT Re: [Config] 851W with Mac via USB to Serial Adapter http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19695239 TomS_ : Being Mac compatible would simply refer to the USB to serial device itself being supported on a Mac, it has nothing to do with the device you are trying to connect to.

What settings did you use for the serial port?

And also, what terminal program are you using on the Mac?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19695239 Thu, 27 Dec 2007 20:43:24 EDT [Config] 851W with Mac via USB to Serial Adapter http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19695126 Maggs : I've tried 2 USB to Serial Adapters, one from Belkin, which advertises Mac compatible on the box, and another non name brand.

Any suggestions, I'm running Tiger 10.4 with a USB Serial Adapter.

Belkin F5U409-CU

Damn Cisco and their Serial ports
