So basically http://www.lammertbies.nl/comm/cable/dec-mmj.html#h71j is
what Gregg is looking for (or the next one, depending on DE-9 or DB25).
As a side note, I disagree with the how the socket is drawn (though, the
numbering is the same compared to what I found in my papers).

If you hold the plug (with cable) in your hands, right in front of you,
put the cable down, the contacts away from you, so that you're looking
at the "nose", which should now be at the left side. With this view, the
pins are numbered 1 to 6 from left to right.
