By the way, a Sparcstation serial port is not exactly the same as a regular db25 serial port. My Sparcstations have port-a and port-b on the same connector, with slightly different pin-out from the standard used on the PC world, and port-a can be set to synchronous. See: http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/SUNERGY/TrCOMM_CPU_Serial_Ports.html
and: http://www.aggsoft.com/rs232-pinout-cable/serial-cable-connections.htm
You may be able to get away with a regular 25-9-pin IBM-style serial cable if you use port-a, but I always had better luck fashioning my own. I know at hamfests and other trade meets Sun cables that break out port-a and port-b to standard db25 (and db9) connectors are around. In fact Stay Online might have them as new.
