Good morning:
Starting out with a new day I have discovered the problem with my unhappy
2501 and 2503. The issue was the flow control settings. With the upgrade to
SecureCRT 5.0 some of the routers don't mind the Flow Control RTS/CTS set to
on. On other routers they do.
So I changed the Flow Control settings to off and I am in the routers again.
Thank you all for reading my silly problem and solution. Happy Easter to
all.
George Morton
