Digi Serial Card....

Thanks for your links.

I had found: 
http://support.digi.com/support/techsupport/common/cables/async/PC_term_rj45-8pin-altpinoff--db9f.htm

and gave it to a colleague who supposedly knew how to make these cables.

Looking at what he did and what is in that page, I am starting to think
he might not have done the adapter properly.

I will try myself tomorrow.

Thanks, once again.
