I made a connector for my DECStation 3100 by grinding bits off an RJ45 
connector until it fitted.  Brutal but effective.  Prepare to lose a few 
RJ45s in the process - you'd be better with your own crimping tool and a 
bag of plugs.

Better still would be the proper DEC connector, but I couldn't find any 
of those.
