Ok, I give up, where the heck does one find the pin-out
for the weird
not-quite-an-RJ-45 connector that connects the console to the VAX? I've got
a cable that has the weird connetor on it (both ends :-() which no doubt
plugs right into a VTxxx VAX Console Terminal but I'm more interested in
something like a serial port of a PC pretending its a VTxxx console
terminal. I figure I'll cut this cable in half, crimp on an RJ45 that I can
plug into one of those DB-9 hood things.
The "weird connector" (DEC MMJ=Modified Modular Jack) is widely
available. Perhaps the easiest mail-order source, should you not have
any decent local electronics shops, is Digi-Key (
www.digikey.com ).
