OK guys it is working now. Thanks to everyone for their support.

Not that anyone else is going to have this much trouble, but here is what I did:

I wired a cat5 cable with these pin outs

One end of the cable wired as:
Pin (end 1) Colour
1 White/Orange
2 Orange
3 White/Green
4 Blue
5 White/Blue
6 Green
7 White/Brown
8 Brown


And the other as:

Pin (end 2) Colour
1 Brown
2 White/Brown
3 Green
4 Blue
5 White/Blue
6 White/Green
7 Orange
8 White/Orange


Then connected using mrpakchong's:

Put the cable between port B(seriel) server1 and port A(seriel) server2

check that you have line "cuab:dv=/dev/cua/b:br#9600" in /etc/remote then you should be able todo tip

unix% tip cuab

I have the solution I was looking for. I might play around and try to get tip hardwire working too.

Thanks again everyone!!!

for "hardwire" you need the arguments you use for the "cuab" line on the hardwire line... thats all!
