I received a sparcstation 10 today and wondered if anyone knew which db25 cable to get to connect to my DEC vt, null modem, cross over, etc, etc. I'm also wondering about connecting a SS20 (which should be about the same) with a PC. I foldout ordered a regular cable instead of a null modem one, so I assume I'll need to get a null modem; but I'd be happy to be told otherwise. Also if anyone has experience with this machine I would be happy to take OS recommendations. I wanted to play with SunOS, not NetBSD, so if was suggested that I go with version 4.1.4. I got the impression later versions don't run that well, and if you care about SVR4 vs. BSD, the mostly pure BSD line ended at 4.1.4.
