A Sun Fire V120 showed up at my site, naturally with zero supporting cables 
or documentation.  Naturally, it doesn't respond to ping.  Can anyone loan 
me an X6973A Serial Connector Kit for a week or so, until the owners of the 
machine can send their copy from France?
It appears in:

XPL
but I'd be grateful for any other information from those who have 
experience with Sun's new foray into using everyone's favorite connector to 
overload yet another function onto it.  Does it use the same pinout as 
anyone _else's_ RS-232 mapping?  Cisco, say, or Digi?  What are the chances 
I can go straight into a Digi console server?  (Yeah, right.)  Is it a DTE 
or a DCE?  Is the pinout documented anywhere?  (My FEHB is way out of date.)
Thanks for any info and/or parts.
-Jim
