I think 25 Pin are in order for the back of the portmaster - a quick search 
on eBay didn't turn up suitable adapters, and stacking multiple low-profile 
adapters (worst case: 9 pin null modem to two 25 pin-9 pin adapters), is, 
well, sub-optimal I suspect ;^(

I plan on getting some RJ45 adapters as was suggested elsewhere for my 
portmaster once I move and "rebuild" my server room... They are quite cheap 
(as low as $1.50/each in reasonable qtys, like a dozen or so).
