Thank you very much, your guide will be very helpful to me.
Your welcome.
Maybe you should blog it somewhere?
Archive is there for that, plus to be decently blog, I believe it should
be written in better English! (;>
So, I think it will stay where it is.
Unless you make it nicer, update it better when you do the final setup,
then may be I might put it at openbsdsupport.org, may be.
I'm just only getting a bit confused about the serial ports of the Netra
box.
Where do i get the appropriat cables to either connect this port to an
ordinary RS/232 port, or to another netra x1?
Get a plug converter form 9 pins to RJ-45. If you don't have one, you
must have a friend that may well have plenty of Cisco adapter, or cable
laying around not use. Or just make one.
Example for one:

But really, don't even buy one. I am sure you can make one or that you
already have all you need around and you may not know it.
As for connecting two Sun together, it's called a roll over cable, also
very simple.
See here for an example of what it looks like:

Look for "Figure C-1: Identifying a Roll-Over Cable". Couldn't be
simpler could it? (;>
Really, cables are the lease of your problems. (;>
Best,
