As I wrote, I disagree with the pin numbering and I also told you the
table is right and how I did count the pins at the plug. Here's it
again:

       123456
       ______		Plug in front of you, cable downwards, the
      ///   /|		contacts are now behind the plug, it's nose
     ///   / |		looks towards you. Now cout the contacts left
    /     / /		to right from 1 to 6.
   |-----| /
   |_//__|/
    ///
   ///
  ///
  O/

The DB25 and DE9 plugs have the numbers on them, just look hard at the
plastic parts. (And yes, it's DE9, not DB9!)


MMJ	<->	DB25	<->	DE9	Signal
-------------------------------------------------------
1		20		4	DTR
2		2		3	TxD
3		7		5	Signal Ground
4		7		5	Signal Ground
5		3		2	RxD
6		6		6	DSR

As it was already stated, you'd just use a normal telephone plug and cut
off the nose. However, some good electronics part shops should have them
around (or should be able to get them). From personal experience, I
advice against using modded telephone ("6P6C") plug. These tend to slip
out of the jackets and may cause some mental pain... (At least I tend to
do a job properly, I'd *hate* to walk down into the basement to press
the plug in again...)

MfG, JBG
