How to make a USB to Serial Console Connection from an Apple Macintosh to a Cisco/HP router or Switch
The RS-232 serial port on network switches and routers (and other devices) remains a staple even on modern equipment; if you've just hosed yourself out of the router with a bad config edit and you can't telnet back in, the console port is your only hope.
But, in this day and age, all Macs and most if not all PCs come with NO serial port anymore; and there are zillions of USB adapters, but some are only for PDAs, and others need drivers that aren't supported anymore, or conflict with something else, or whatever...and then, even if you've got the hardware all set to go, how do you actually make the connection? And even if you figure that out, what if you've got a Mac?
