iBook Purchase Consideration


Recommended Posts

I'm thinking about getting an iBook for school... the only thing I'm worried about is that I use the serial port to connect and configure routers at school... I was wondering if there was another way to attach a console cable to a macintosh to allow me to configure routers using the iBook...

Thanks!

If they are Cisco routers, you can also configure them over ethernet. There is even a neat program called Telconi Terminal which gives you a graphical configuration utility for them.

What kind of terminal emulation software could I use with the MAC... and could it see the serial port??

Thanks!
