Well if it's parnet you're after, you've just wasted your money.
You want a Parnet able, not a null-modem/Sernet cable

Buy a FULLY WIRED 25-pin MALE to 25-pin MALE cable.

Then have a look at the docs, you will have to cut about
three wires, and solder one more (in each end).

Or Special Reserve do a Parnet cable as well for about
a tenner.
