Sampsa-

The standard Macintosh Modem cable would have the mini-DIN8 connector at 
one end and a DB-25M at the other end.  You could use a 25 pin to 9 pin 
adapter and have your null-modem adapter on either side, depending on 
how many pins it has.

Or you could use a Macintosh Serial Printer cable, which uses the 
null-modem configuration to match a common serial printer ****t such as 
the one on the old ImageWriter I.

These cables used to be available at rather high prices.  At one time I 
purchased a long mini-DIN8 printer cable intended for the newer 
ImageWriter II, cut it in half and made two Modem cables out of it.  The 
only problem was that the wire colors were different for each end due to 
its null-modem configuration!
