Re: Cisco 2500 to a 9406-170

  Yup you got it right now-IBM cable to Cisco Cable. Not even Black Box has a
cable with a Cisco high density connector on one end with an IBM PCI connector 
on
the other. Even less likely they'd get the pins right!!!

  The netwizards need to make some change to the Cisco no doubt. Likely they 
have
the clocking option wrong or some such. (I am assuming here that you have a
Line/Controller/Device in a 'Vary On Pending' status, the Line actually may be
'Varied On'.
