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
Paul Phillips
