Serial cable for Sparc IPX.

Here's my original question:

>Im running solaris 2.6 on an old Sun Sparc IPX, does anyone know where

>can get hold of a serial cable in order to connect up a modem to it?

>It has a strange din type connector on the back instead of the usual 9

>connector.

Many thanks to everyone that replied, far too many to list but you know

who you are :)

Well, it seems that old Apple Mac serial cables will do the trick as i've

been told by over 50 people! apparently the zilog SIO chipset and bad

serial driver support on the IPX isn't the greatest (thanks to Raymond

Wong negativl@netcom.com for that) but speeds of up to 38400 seem to work

just fine.

Pinout diagrams, info and a list of places to buy them from are also

available from

Thanks again.
