Get a roll-your-own. There are several pinouts for RJ45-DE9, so if you buy
one ready-made, you're going to end up muttering to Murphy. They're
usually in the form of a shell made to hold an RJ45 socket, which comes
with 8 wires connected, each with a pin (or socket pin) crimped on the end,
ready to insert into the DE9 body that comes with it. They're also cheap,
less than 1 UKP here (about $1.00) from CPC.

I have seen RJ45 to DE9 adaptors before. I have one someplace, it came
with my DSL router. But I have seen them for sale at computer shows
before, and would think they should be readily available at any decent
electronics or network parts dealer. I think Rat Shack sells a roll your
own pinout one that goes to a DB25 (I know they have an RJ14, 6 pin to
DB25).
