or is it saying pin 1 on the RJ45 is RTS, pin 2 is DTR, etc.? in that case i would just use a straight-through cable, it seems....
i guess the ordering in the diagram is throwing me off but it was just presented in a way so the ASCII wires do not have to cross.....
so i guess pin 1 on the adapter goes to pin 1 on the X2250, pin 2 to pin 2, 3-3, and 4-4, but 5-8, 6-6, and then i get confused again because pin 7 on the adapter is DCD but there is no DCD on the X2250, and then finally pin 8 on the adapter goes to pin 7 on the X2250. i guess i can put pin 7 on the adapter to pin 5 (GND) on the X2250? thats the only pin left and apparently Sun doesn't use DCD so makes sense, i think. guess i will try it pending any response and hope i dont cause an explosion ;)
