Jason,
What you've done simply won't work. Just because you can physically
convert the connectors doesn't mean that the two ends will talk to one
another.
The Ethernet port is designed to speak at data rates of millions of
bits per second; an RS232 port is intended to speak at far lower data
rates -- usually around 9,600 or 19,200 bits per second.
What you need is a USB-to-serial port adapter that works with Macs,
such as this one from Keyspan:

Hope this helps,

Hello All,
My Powerbook does not have serial port so I have connected RJ45 cable
from
Ethernet port on my Powerbook and other end of Ethernet cable I have
attached a RJ45 to RS-232 connector.
I connect RS232 end to my Cisco router, but can not access the terminal
using this configuration similar to how I can in Windows with
Hyperterminal.
Does anyone know how to do this with Mac OSX?
Thanks.
Jason
