Subject: Re: VAX console and crossover cable problem
Note: I've seen many MMJ cables/bulkheads ignore 1 and 6.
Since the VAX usually uses XON/XOFF, this isn't usually a
problem. It's usually happy having just 3 wires: Tx, Rx, and
gnd (TxG+RxG).
True, I'm just used to working with BC16E cable. Later on I even wired up
all 6 lines when using UTP 'cos most of the time I didn't know what the end
use of the cable was going to be.
Cheers
