Linux
How do i go about useing Linix to console into a Cisco router or switch? I'll be going out the serial port into the Console port of the Cisco device. Do I direct Telnet to use a serial port or would I use a prog like minicom?

To use the serial port you would use a terminal emulation program such as term that I believe is included with Linux (i know it is in BSD).
Telnet is only over an IP network.

To console into a Cisco router you would have to connect the Cisco supplied console cable from your linux box serial port to the console port on the Cisco router.
You can surely use Minicom. I use it often and it works great. You may need modify the minicom's line parameters to 9600 8 N 1 and to the proper serial port (ie: ttyS0).
hope this helps.
