That would be
the trickiest part... I think that I should
try wiring the DE9 directly to a 4wire phone cable; it is easier
to find a phone cable than a female DIN8.
This won't work as there are
electronics in that box. A TeleNet connector
doesn't just re-pin from a din 8 to a phone wire. Besides, it only uses 2
of the four wires (the yellow/black pair aka "line 2").
Yes, I had figured out this much since the terminators are
connected only to these two wires.
You will need to build an adaptor to go from Din 8 to
DE 9, or just check
eBay and see if you can find telenet connectors with the DE9 already on
it.
I guess it will be much faster if I just open up one of my farallon
DIN8-phonenet adapters and copy the circuitry inside, provided that
I can find the pinout for the DE-9 connector...
Thanks,
carlos.
