Like Steve Haavik mentioned, not all of them. Some of the 750x RSPs and
some Catalyst supervisor blades are the ones that come to mind.

The exceptions use a 25-pin serial port, in which case you need a 9-pin
to 25-pin straight through cable. Incidentally, this straight through
cable is what you use to connect an external modem to a PC ;)
