Also configure "no exec" and "transport input telnet".  You also might 
want "session timeout 30" or similar so that the port doesn't get wedged 
if you lose connectivity to the router.

Then telnet to the router, port 2001 usually, but in reality 2001 + 
number of async lines that the chassis may have.  Do a "show line" and 
add 2000 to the line number to the left of "AUX".

You should now see the console of the unit connected to the router's AUX 
port.

Also Google "reverse telnet" if this isn't sufficient to get you going.
