I figured as much. I just had to explain that one to an otherwise very-computer-savvy friend. He couldn't figure out why he couldn't get the serial console to work on his Ultra 10, so I told him I'd take a look. He pulled out his DB9-DB9 null modem cable, and I asked him if he had a DB25 adapter. He was rather confused...but not for long. You can be smart, but it won't help when you need SPARC smarts. :)
