You only need regular modem cable... nothing special about it... and on
Minicom it will always say you are not connected even though you are
connected to a Sun... Make sure you are connected to the "Serial A"
port on a Sun. Here is a config file for Minicom... save it as
"/etc/minirc.sun" and type "minicom -s sun" .... you are good to go!!!
