Hi,

Sorry for being late with this summary.

A Cisco "rollover" rj45 to rj45 cable works.

And, this also works:
You have to use an adapter that Avocent (formerly known as Cyclades) either
sells you (part number ADB0039) or you can make your own:

Cyclades       Sun
 1 ----------- 8
 2 ----------- 7
 3 ----------- 6
 4 -----+----- 4
        +----- 5
 5 ----------- 1
 6 ----------- 3
 7 ----------- 2

Part number ADB0039 is available on Ebay for $9.99, the advantage of this
part is that you can use your normal cat 5 ethernet cable to connect to the
TS, the avocent part dongles from the Sun box.

Thanks to all who responded.
