Re: Where can I find RJ-11 to RS232 Cable for my Powerline Interface?

[Charles Sullivan <cwsulliv@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since it is not RS232, there is no such cable defined.  If you
want a cable with a RJ11 on one end and a 9-pin or 25-pin type-D
connector at the other end (for whatever reason), you'll have
to specify what lines go to what pins and have a custom cable
made to your specifications (or make one up yourself).
