I got mine a few days ago, ordered it half populate, so it holds 32
modems right now (using a PM2E30, so 2 modems go unused for now. .)
but I'm getting a DB25 to RJ45 cable, and then running RJ to RJ into
the PM.. I think you said you got your ISPorte from Cappela, same
here.. check with them, they have the DB25 to RJ45 cables, it's
MIC-1848066, and they also had the RJ to RJ cables (like $5.00 a
piece)
