Inspiron connecting to a switch/router

[havenlad]

Using A Dell Inspiron 1520, I can't connect to the console port. There is no
serial connection on the lappy. Does anybody know how to get around this?


Thanks

Serial RS-232 is rapidly becoming obsolete. If you need serial RS232,
purchase a USB-to-Serial or a Ethernet-to-Serial adapter (Terminal
Server).
