In my line of work I still do that. Not for modems, though. Usually for receiving serial data from gyros and gps.
Same.
Using a nice blue cable that says "Cisco" on the connector.
I have something similar. DE9-RJ45 for talking to switches.
Hello fellow Cisco blue cable user.
Mine appear to multiply every time I use them. I think I have more than 10 at this point. My RS232 is happily married to one of them.... At least, I think they're happy.
For me it's displays and audio systems, but I do use RS232 on a daily basis.
Yesterday I had to manually make a null modem cable cause I lost my final little orange dongle.
I carry a bunch of loose connectors in my Pelicase O'Spares - I mostly work with RS422, so I can solder any length I need to achieve less rack spaghetti.
My pelicase has a redicilous assortment of various things I might need, accumulated over a long period of time. Netqork cards, SFP transceivers, and a bunch of other stuff. There's also a Cisco router and three beers. The last two items are normally not there, but they were leftovers after wrapping up my work trip yesterday, so I took them with me.
