huh? You'll have to be a WHOLE lot more explicit as to what you want
to do here.
on x86 hardware, RJ45 ports are almost always ethernet, serial ports
generally use DB9 connectors.
On some other servers like Sun Sparc and IBM Power systems, RJ45 ports
are sometimes used for serial console connections, but those ports are
wired up to UARTs (asynchronous communication adapters) rather than
ethernet network interface adapters.
