oops - several have pointed out that I was wrong (of course - duh) about
the
modem port on my Mac - of course it is RJ11...
Now I am on the track of a USB-serial adapter. Thanks to those of you that
have suggested it.
Anyway, above Will mentions the "Sun-supplied serial-to-RJ45 adapter".
I didn't get that with the Netra. This cable would be RJ-45 on one end -
what kind of connector is on the other? Is this something I can go buy
from my local store or does anyone know if it is a strange Sun only thing...
Thanks
