Blackbox sells MMJ to db25 pin adapters prewired either for use with a 
terminal (what you want to do) or a printer. Best thing I can suggest 
would be to buy one premade adapter (I think they sell for around $16 
or so) and the rest as kits. Unless I'm remembering wrong (which is 
possible) there wasn't that big a difference between the kit price, and 
the premade price, and they do have quantity discountings, so you might 
even be better off just buying the premade adapters. The actual MMJ 
cables are easy to make as they're straight thru cables.
