Hi,

I've just acquired a VAXStation 4000/90a (yum) and now find myself in
the market for a serial console cable, ideally to connect to PC9.
IIRC I could get an RJ11 cable, cut off the connector and wire the
other end to a plug, but does anyone have any other
suggestions/suppliers? :)

All you really need are three wires: ground, TxD and RxD. A simpleguideline is available here:

I've made quite a few simply trimming an RJ11 plug's tab.

John
