They were supposedly taken from a live and working instalation. I want to set them up with IP address on my network and connect the ports to serial ports of my FreeBSD boxes, so that I can telnet to a network address and port, and connect to the consoles of systems. Eventually I will set all my systems to boot with messages going to the serial ports. I realize that there are issues of connecting to network devices using plain text passwords and connections. Back to my problem, the Digi port servers have 10pin RJ45 type connectors and I can only find 8pin connectors here in the UK. Has anyone managed to connect to one of these things using an 8pin connector or do I need to go back to Digi to buy their connectors/adapters. If you have managed to connect please could you let me have your cable wiring diagram. I have so far built 5 different cables using cable diagrams from digi's web site and their technical support people - whom I have to say were fairly indifferent in the help-full department. Thanks for any and all assistance.
