Nowadays I might consider making yet another adapter
and rewire the
modular side by using a cat5 patch cord and a dual modular jack, wiring
the jack with the crosswires as necesary. requires very little by the
way of tools, and keeps everything else original.
I would have considered that had these been anything special, but I got
a bunch of these adaptors from my dad's dental office when they were
moving off of their Xenix system (with the Xenix system as well). They
are not wired to any standard I know of, and they don't even seem to be
wired to the same standard within the lot. I remember fervently wishing
that they had used a MicroVAX instead of a PC with SCO. I also wished
that I had been paying attention when they were getting rid of the
Altos, but that was when I was in 4th grade.
