ive done this. you just need to know the pinouts and make the cable
properly.

Yes. use a device known as a type 3 media filter - it's a DB-9 male
connector that converts to an RJ-45 (basically, an STP to UTP converter) It
has electronic components in it, so don't try to use a standard DB-9 PC
Serial type connector.
You can't fake a Token Ring interface into an up/up state with no keepalive.
It needs to be physically inserted into a ring.
If you have 2 2502's, you'll need 2 media filters. They're available in
many different places - I know Ortronics manufactures them, and they are
available on eBay (search in Computers:Networking using 'media filter')
