Default Null Modem Connection

Hi All,

I am trying to wire the following adapters to obtain a teminal
connection to a sun utlra 60 from the serial port of a PC laptop.

I have tried the following config suggested on a non-sun-afilliated
website, which alas did not work:

Null DBMALE 25

Position Color
1 Red
2 Yellow
3 Black
4 White
5 Blue
7 Green
8 Orange
20 Brown

RJ45 connector

Cat 5

RJ45 connector

STRAIGHT DB-9 Female
Position Color
1 Red
2 Yellow
3 Black
4 Orange
5 Green
6 Brown
7 Blue
8 White

I have had another goodle around and found the following suggested as
well:

25 pin 9 pin
pin 1 GND - pin 1 GND
pin 2 TXD - pin 3 RXD
pin 3 RXD - pin 3 TXD
pin 4 RTS - pin 8 CTS
pin 5 CTS - pin 7 RTS
pin 7 gnd - pin 5 gnd
pin 6 DSR - pin 4 DTR
pin 20 DTR - pin 6 DSR


Could anyone confirm for me the needed wiring to connect a DB9-Female
(PC) to DB25-Male (Ultra 60). I am using the modular adapters that
allow you to simply insert each pin into each numbered hold on the
connector.

Many thanks if anyone can help here. Oh and for the record the box was
booted without a keyboard connected and can be reached via ssh/telnet
over ethernet. I have tried minicom from linux and secureCRT from
windows.

Baud-9600
Port-COM1
DataBits - 8
Parity-None
StopBit-N

Cheers,
Luke
