Hello,
    I just purchased a SPARCstation 2 a short time ago off ebay.  =
Anyhow, I do not have the necessary equipment to hook it up to a VGA =
monitor, plus I dont have a Sun style monitor.  So I attempted to hook =
it up to a number of machines, I get no result when hooking up to a =
windows machine (may be a result of the null modem connector being =
flaky).  I read somewhere that Macintosh modem connectors would work, =
however, upon book of the SS2, my Mac shuts down immediatly.  Do you =
need special modem cables, or will any work?  For the people who said =
they had hooked up SS's to macs before, which cables did you use?
    Thanks a bunch,
    Zach Malone
