i spent 10 times the price($1) that i paid for my Sun IPX for a Transceiver
(aui to twisted pair) to connect to my network, and another $10 for a serial
null-modem adapter from radioshack.. no i can't solder cables to save my
life, maybe if i had a $50 temp controlled iron i could.. but that's more
money than the adapter :)
