Na, you just have to change the settings. When you initially set it up it
asks you for a number and stuff, but once you've created the connection, hit
the "disconnect" icon, then change the following settings (via File ->
Properties):
Set port to Com1 (or 2 depending on where the cable is connected)
Click the "configure" button and set 9600-8-N-1 (baud, Data bits, Parity,
Stop bits.) I also set flow control to none, but you should be able to leave
it at hardware. Click ok.
Click the "Settings Tab" and check your emulation to ANSIW.
Click the ASCI setup button and select "Echo typed characters locally".
Click ok a couple of times and you should be ok.
Reconnect the "call" and hit enter, which should bring up the dialog from
the router.
If you're still having trouble later, i'll check it out - i have an old ASUS
sitting around here. Iirc the default password was ADSL.
