I did . That's pretty much where Im at. Lucky I had a backup modem. Just wondering though....What's special about the black cat and Jtags? Is it possible to hard wire a serial connection directly to the board and access the damn thing that way without such a tool?

your taking about a ttl cable and yes you can, tho if you kill the bootloader then you will need a jtag

jtag can connect on a hardware only level
ttl can connect on a bootloader only level
ethernet can connect on a firmware level
