Admin a Cisco Router from OS X?



Can I use the Terminal to admin my Cisco 2500 series router via an RJ45 to Serial adapter?



Can I use a "dumb terminal" app? Does ZTerm run in OS X?



Are there any Cisco tools that run on OS X? Either from the GUI or the BSD shell?



Is there a good TFTP client for OS X?

    Well, I'm not sure about the Cisco Tools, but there's indeed an OS X Version of ZTerm out there:

    I've worked with ZTerm once, it supports numerous file transfer protocols, perhaps you're in luck and it does TFTP as well...



    As far as administering a Cisco Router is concerned, well, you could also try an USB->Serial Adapter. Keyspan (http://www.keyspan.com/) is offering such a device.
