Anyone have any idea what one would connect with this cable? Going from a 15-pin VGA connector to a DB9 is very odd.

The reason I ask is that in an effort to get some hardware that required a serial connection for use up and running at a remote site, the local support person went our and found one of these things. Obviously plugging the VGA port into a serial port is not going to work but they must have seen too many movies where folks just plugs things in and all is well. In this case, the hardware was made... non-functional.
