Record-breaking speed from Kurt Schumacher (reported verbatim):

  Have H8571-A connected here, using the standard cables, to the
  expensive RJ-45 adapter.

  If you have spare connectors and a MMJ tool, you can try to create
  kind a no-modem cable by pressing a connector the wrong way round to
  the cable, but think this wont help in your case.

  DEC used a different wiring on their RJ-45 serial lines. With
  Lantronix it's easy, just make a cable with an DEC-423 MMJ connector
  on one side, the RJ-45 with the 6 leads in the CENTER, leaving the
  first and the last place empty.

  Last but not least, to create a null-modem cable, just crimp one of
  the connectors the wrong way round to the cable.

Ciao,

Arrigo
