Well,

I've got a 2501 in front of me here.  It has a 2 RJ45 connectors for the console and aux connection to the router.  The other connectors are 2 serial (V.35 for a csu/dsu) and 1 AUI for network connection.  If this router is part of a network that connects to the internet, then you can just telnet into it instead of using a  modem.

Subject:        CISCO Router Cable

We're installing CISCO 2501 routers on our frame relay network.
The network provider is also going to provide router-to-router
network management and needs to be able to dial into a modem
attached to the router.  I've got the modems, but I need the
cable that connects the modem to the router.  I don't have the
routers yet, but I understand it's an RJ45 to DB25 cable.
CISCO can provide a "Console Cable Kit" but they want $100
for it.  Does anyone know of an alternative source for this
cable?  I don't know what the pin-out is or I'd make my own.
Any help would be appreciated.
