Yep, that'll be it.
If you want to jurryrig the Cisco DB9>RJ45, the pinouts I have:

=== Cisco rj45 232 (DB9 end of rollover RJ45) ===
|| '''Cisco DB9 RJ45''' || '''DB9 Pin''' || '''Function''' ||
|| 1 || 7 || CTS ||
|| 2 || 4 || DSR ||
|| 3 || 3 || RXD ||
|| 4 || 5 || GND ||
|| 5 || 5 || GND ||
|| 6 || 2 || TXD ||
|| 7 || 6 || DTR ||
|| 8 || 8 || RTS ||

...and on top of that you need the rollover (1>8, 2>7, 3>6, etc) cable.

Hope that'll help. Good luck :)

Last week a cop stopped me in my car.  He asked me if I had
a police record. I said, no, but I have the new DEVO album.
