I made a connector for my DECStation 3100 by grinding bits off an RJ45
connector until it fitted. Brutal but effective. Prepare to lose a few
RJ45s in the process - you'd be better with your own crimping tool and a
bag of plugs.
Better still would be the proper DEC connector, but I couldn't find any
of those.
