Odd Connectors (was: WTB: MMJ cables and adapters)

Quothe Bill Bradford, from writings of Sat, Jul 06, 2002 at 09:59:59PM -0500: For a temporary hack, you can always use a standard RJ45 connector with the tab removed, and then use more easily obtainable supplies to put a cable together from junkbox parts. Speaking of odd connectors used with terminals, I need to locate a 10-pin modular connector (and a way to attach it to a cable) before I can use my AT&T 705MT terminal with my VAX... and need to have an MMJ connector on the other end of the cable. Since the 10-pin connectors are still RJ45 connectors, I'm wondering if my crimping tool will work with these... one way to find out. Alas, 10-pin modular connectors don't appear easy to find locally. In case anyone else finds one of these 705MT terminals with a missing keyboard, note that any PeeCee keyboard with a miniature DIN connector will work with it. -- Copyright (C) 2001 R. D.
