Yep, the RJ45 on the laptop will be ethernet. The cable is indeed for
programming a Cisco router or some such, I checked and our Cisco router has
an RJ45 "Console" port.
Just use an ordinary null modem cable between the server and the laptop.
Incidentally, why can't you just put a monitor on the server? Is it
something wierd and proprietary?
