I know my firmware is 07.85, I'm just lacking the cable right now. Jim Paris
advised earlier that the DCT2000 acts as DCE so I'll make a cable up and
give it a whirl.

The provider enabling the port IS relevant, surely - no port enabling = no
serial control of the box (given the right firmware level?)
