True.  But the cables I was looking at put the smarts in the USB end
rather than the DE9 end.  The cables I own put the smarts in the DE9
end, so cutting that off would be not so useful in this case. 

Now, with a little work, I could cut the plastic off and insert the bare
PCB into a mint tin with an rj45 jack on the side, I suppose.
