Hi folks,

     We are trying to get pinouts and cabling informaiton on the
ten-pin serial connector found on the RT and RS/6000 and are having
remarkably little luck.  We have one on loan for porting, and they
did not (and cannot seem to) locate even a part number for these
little ten-pin-to-DB-25 pigtails.  Does anybody have the pinouts
or part numbers for these?

     Also, it seems that when the CTS input line drops that it sends
a SIGHUP to the process talking to the port.  This causes us some
Real Big Problems and we would love to find a way in software to
make this go away.  Turning the pin into one for hardware flow control
would be best, but finding a way to have it ignored would be much
better.  We want to avoid having to specify a custom cable.

     Thanks much, please respond via email if you can help me.

     Steve

These connectors are the same as they use on the RT for the eight port
expansion box. The part number for the AScii Terminal cable that can be
used on these ports is 6298525 (option number 6298186). But the 
following is the real important info.

pin 1 = TxD
    2 = DTR
    3 = RTS
    4 = 
    5 = 
    6 = RxD
    7 = DSR
    8 = CTS
    9 = CD
    10 = Signal Ground



Hope this helps
