I'd like to wire some RS-232 circuits from desks back to a wiring
closet using modular hardware at the desk end.  We will be terminating
a six wire connection on an RJ45 (8 pin modular jack) under each desk,
and then use a modular cord (with appropriate ends) to connect the
jack to a DB25 or DB9 shell, thence into the back of a PC.

Is there any standard for the appearance of the standard RS-232
signals on the RJ45, or should I just invent something that works.

Note: Why 8 pin jacks with six wire circuits?  We can't seem to get
some of the parts with RJ11 jacks.

Thanks,

Ed Greenberg
