Re: Serial port on sparc

Hmm.

Unless I'm mistaken I don't think you mean "null-modem".  A null-modem
cable is one that swaps the send and receive lines so that you can
communicate between two devices that normally don't expect to
communicate
with each other (ie connecting the serial port of two SPARCstations
together).

You want a 25 pin straight through male-to-male connector.
