PCMCIA or MINI-PCI modems for rb532

[hecklertm]

Hi,

Can I use a pcmcia or mini-pci modem inside the rb532 to establish a remote console session to the router? The manual talks about establishing the connection via serial port but not via an internal serial device.

If it does work, do you have any recommendation on a pc or mpci modem to use?

Thanks

There are no mpci or pcmcia modems listed there.

if it is a standard hardware modem, that gets its real irq and serial port, then it will work, but if it is a winmodem, that needs drivers to work under windows, then it will not work…

Thank you fro the reply. Will I have to connect to the modem using a ppp connection and the connect to the router via IP, or is it posiible to have the modem respond as the serial console?
