RE: Cisco 2500 to a 9406-170

["Art Tostaine, Jr." <Art@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The supplied cable does fit on the AS/400, but does not fit on serial 1 of the 
router.  The router
as some special looking connector, with approx 50 pins and very small.

Right now I have the cisco cable connected to the IBM cable.  The network techs 
say they can see the
AS/400 change status, but we're not up.

We might have some kind of configuration change to make.

You need the standard IBM V.24 cable. It should have come with your AS/400,
although with the new systems you can order cards without cables.  That cable
will have the V.24 connector you need.  It is extremely unlikely that any NON 
IBM
cable's will correctly work when directly attached to any AS/400 CISC or RISC.
