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
