I do not agree with this mapping. It looks like a mapping to a DCE 25 pin
connection and not DTE as was requested.

PC 9 pin			25 pin DTE connection

1 (Carrier Detect) <------------ no connection
2 (Data Input) <---------------- 2 - TxD (Transmit data)
3 (Data Output) ---------------> 3 - RxD (Received data)
4 (DTR) ------------------+----> 6 - DSR
                          +----> 8 - CD (carrier detect)
5 (Signal Ground) -------------- 7 - SGND (Signal Ground)
6 (DSR) <----------------------- 20 - DTR
7 (RTS) ----->+-loop  loop-+<--- 4 - RTS
8 (CTS) <-----+            +---> 5 - CTS
9 (Ring indicator) <------------ no connection

If you are going to be running interrupts on the serial port then you
might want to tie pins 1 and 9 to pin 4 to prevent any spurious
interrupts from ocurring. This is the connection I used recently
to connect a VT220 to the AT serial port. (Actually, I tied pins
1, 6, 9 to pin 4 and made DTR active. On the 25 pin DTE side I connected
pin 6(DSR) and 8(CD) to pin 20(DTR) to get things going.)

If you have any problems get in touch with e-mail.
