     According to my archives, the 920 used a 40242M cable as the console
     cable.  This cable is straight-thru with the following pins:
     1-8,14,15,20,23,24.  I believe all you really need is pins 2,3, and 7.

     Make sure you're using port 0 for the console.

     The 920 used to also come with a 92219Q(?) cable which I believe was
     for the modem and was definitely not a straight-thru cable.
