All the DTR, CTS stuff just makes my head hurt....thanks:)

have you tried an plain ethernet cable between the 240 and the terminal
server? If you're lucky, this may work, as it does on some terminal
servers.

It won't. I don't have a diagram any longer, but I made a *lot* of
cables for Annex devices.

The modern Sun/Cisco cable has a nice property of being reflexive.
TX/RX are on a reflected pin set (4 and 5 I think). Not so on the
annex. I had to mark one end of the cables because they weren't
reflexive.

Googling for Annex pinout finds this page:
http://www.meadow.net/pinouts.html

I don't remember the 2000, but I wonder if that's the MicroAnnex? Then
hoping that the "Cisco Console" is the DTE version with the same wiring
used on Suns, you get this section:

----
Cisco Console RJ45 to MicroAnnex:

Cisco RJ45-8pin: Standard Data cable crimp (see above)

Annex RJ45-8pin:

3 Yellow or Gr/Wh
5 Black or Wh/Gr
6 Red or Bl/Wh

1-2,4,7-8 can be connected as usual with no harm.

The ends are sensitive; you *must* plug the Cisco end into the Cisco,
and the Annex end into the Annex.

That would be where I start.
