If you don't want to "roll" your own.... just order the cables that
Cyclades uses from their website.  That's what I use.  They have
rolled RJ45 (for your Cisco routers or Sun Netras) as well as 9pin and
25pin.  Actually the rolled RJ45 is now in the form of a converter...
you supply normal RJ45 to any length you want.
