Accessing the CIOS prompt should be easy... from either the Management
port into a PC's serial, or even by straight Ethernet, since the Cisco
usually issues DHCP by default. (Since the Cisco is probably starting
unconnected upon startup, it is possible that it may fail to issue an
appropriate address though.)
Once connected (e.g. using minicom on serial), it will ask a password,
which is by default set to "cisco". (Surprised?)
You can then issue useful commands like "show interface wan0-0" or for
short "sh in wan0-0", and get DHCP server/lease info as well.
Ultimately, I don't think the 675 is useful on other systems unless
you've got the local telco's subscription, as the ADSL signal must
connect to a Central Office's DSLAM.

have much of a clue as to what we were doing).

Subject: [cinjug-users] WAY OFF TOPIC: old
Zoomtown cisco router
Hey everyone,
A bit off topic here. I was wondering if anyone
is still
using the old Cisco 675 routers that Cincinnati
Bell used to
use for Zoomtown?
I moved from Cincinnati a little while back and
kept the
router and now I am trying to access it using the
MGMT port.
Unfortunately, I am not having any success. My
hyperterminal
just sits there.
Has anyone managed to use these for any other
purpose besides
Zoomtown?
Thanks,
-Jason
