Conventional wisdom says that a standard serial cable will work, that is 
a cable with pins 1-8 and 20 hooked upstraight through to the other 
connector. 

My IIe's must not have heard of that wisdom though, because whenever I 
try that cable configuration and launch a term program, my IIe hangs.

I recommend the following configuration, and have several cables already 
made up if you wish to purchase one:

  SSC end                             Modem end
(Male DB-25)                         (Male DB-25)
    1-------------------------------------1  Chassis GND
    2-------------------------------------2  TXD
    3-------------------------------------3  RXD
    4-------------------------------------4  RTS
    6-------------------------------------8  DSR
    7-------------------------------------7  Signal GND
    20-----------------------------------20  DTR
    5-------------------------------------5  CTS
       |  Yes, Pins 5 & 8 are jumpered on
    8--      the SSC end of the cable.
