Hi pascal,
No cisco routers here (so no console cable).  I've got alot of cat5, but
that's about all.  I  get the feeling that I'll need to purchase, or
construct some other kind, but i can't figure out which.  ugh.  i hate
sun.



I know what you mean ! In my recent project, I had 3 different Sun servers requiring 3 different console cables. The Netra console cable is the most easily acquired, because it is the same as the Cisco console cable. The other 2 had to be fabricated manually.

What you can do is, try to borrow one from your network engineer (or any network engineer friends), because you only need it for the initial OS install. After that, you just use Exceed to connect to the box via a cross-over cable and you can do the configuration, etc. on it. If you want, I can see if I can buy one here and send it over to you. But I think it may be cheaper (and faster) to order it in the US on Cisco's website or eBay, or the neighbourhood computer shop.
