Michael,

To put a modem on the aux I believe you need a different cable than when
connecting to the console port. I will try and locate the pinouts for you.

                Hello all,

                I'm surprised no one has done a short white paper of all the
things you can do
                with a aux interface.

                I've used it for dedicated routing for months now. Even
heard that you can
                tunnel frame-switching over it. Never seemed to have the
right IOS image to
                to make that work.

                sample back to back config

                interface Async5
                 ip address 10.252.64.1 255.255.255.0
                 async default routing
                 async mode dedicated

                line aux 0
                 speed 38400

                Here's my question, two parts.

                Can you use it to simulate isdn dial out? I remember from
my CCNA days
                someone saying that you couldn't use the aux port to dial
out. That doesn't
                ring true to me now, It seems to me that it's a async port,
and a dialer
                should be able to do anything it wishes with it.

                Assuming that you can do async calls on a aux interface.
Can someone post a
                useable chat-script and port config for having two aux ports
back to back.
                I'm thinking just like the decicated routing mode, but with
the dialer setting
                up calls and disconnecting at will.

                Is this possible? Or do I need two modems with phone lines?

                Thanks for Your Time,

                Michael
