Source for console (tty) cable for P series?

#1 (**permalink**) 01-05-2008, 12:52 PM

Gentlemen;
can anyone recommend a good source for a direct connect tty cable to connect
a terminal (ibm3153) to the DB9 port on the back of one of these servers?

We used to make our own but now that we have servers in several sites we'd
like to purchase pre-made cables.

Recommendations please?

Thnx

About 7-8 years ago I bought a null-modem cable from CompUSA for $10,
and it's been fantastic. Try the simple solution first.

My favorite cable is the Laplink Serial cable. Handy for lots of null
modem uses with both DB9 and DB25 heads on each end.
