RS-232 is a protocol. DB-9 is a connector (so is your mini-DIN).
RS-232 via an RJ45 is still RS-232 (as it would be over 4 pair of field-telephone wire). Sounds like you are good to go!

I must have misexpresed myself. Sorry about that. The Macs do have a serial port but the connector is not an RS232. I do not know what they are called but they are cylindrical in shape, like the mouse connectors on PCs and they have got 8 pins in them. One of them gives the DTR. >All computer keyers are "straight key" to the K2, iambic is only for manual >paddles. Alternatively, some control programs tell the K2 to send the code, >but sending "KEY THIS" commands over the RS-232. Good to know. Thanks for the info. 73!
