The intent of the modem is for dialin use in a emergency. A router 2,000
miles away that you need to access the console port without flying there,
just overnight a modem instead. I've never heard of anyone getting line
con 0 (or aux) to route, etc or be of any use other than for
Hyperterminal or ProComm, etc..
ip route 10.113.0.0 255.255.255.0 console 0 line con 0 ip unnumbered
