Wow, I get crazy wuith this thinggi.

I now have a cable with a MINI-DIN-plug on one side and
a normal RS232-plug (9 pins) on the other side. I too
have a NULL-MOodem cable and a gender changer to stick
these both together.

I ripped off the second frambuffer and the ISDN-card from
my SUN and I unplugged the Keyboard and Monitor from it.
I connected the SUN with my PC ser-port 1 and set my
terminal-program to 9600N1 VT100.

BUT I STILL DON'T GET ANY RESPONSE FROM MY SUN IPC

Pleeeaase all you gurus out there help me.

On the PC - do you have "flow control set to none"
and baud rate = 9600 ?  And in settings pick VT100.

I had the same problem, first I had the wrong null modem
adapter.  Then I had the above settings wrong too...

Check those, good luck,
