Thanks to all that replied. All of the suggestions were
good ones, but the solution was relatively simple. First, there's no
need to mess with any eeprom settings, the defaults for "ttya-ignore-cd=true"
do just fine. All that was required was to 1) wire the DB25 to RJ45
to the DTE pin outs (which I had) and 2) access the serial port manager
from "admintool", use the "hardwired" template and select "Software
Carrier" as an option (which I didn't). That's it... Pretty simple
Thanks again to all that replied.
