All,

Could any of you, who have pilotmgr up and running recommend a particular part
number (e.g.  Fry's or Radio Shack) for the connection between the pilot hotsync
peripheral, and a sparc serial cable (or more directly to a sparc 5).

My first attempt, using something lying around that "fit", froze my unit up
completely, until I did a reset.

My second attempt, buying something at Fry's, revealed my vast ignorance of the
configuration of serial interfaces, and is not correct either.  Of course the
problem there, is that I asked one of the sales folks to verify the correctness
of my choice which the person did (and I *knew* better than to ask for tech
assistance at Fry's ;-)).

Thanks in advance,

John
