I've looked just about everywhere I can think of, but I can find no info on
how to connect a miniboard to a Macintosh.  It all seems to be geared to
PC users.  I'd really like to know just what I need.

I was wondering if an old PhoneNet connector could be used, since it goes
from the Mini-DIN 8 to an RJ-11.  Is there too much stuff in there for it
to be used for this purpose?

I found a mini-DIN 8 to DB-25 (male to male) cable in a box of old connectors
here in our lab.  If I get a female to female DB-25 connector, and a DB-25
to RJ-11 connector, will I have what I need?

Please excuse me if I've made any big errors in what I've said.  I have
only a limited knowledge of electronics, so I'm really shooting in the
dark here.

Thanks,
