There are two ways to make a cable from the GS to your modem one is to make a
cable that goes between your cable and the modem and the other is to make a 8
to 25 cable, here are both solutions.

For a 25 to 25 jumper.
Wire 1,2,3,5,and 7 straight through, on the plug that goes to the modem
connect 6 to 20, and on the socket connect 20, goes to GS, to 4 on the plug,
end that goes to modem. 

For a 8 to 25 cable.
These are given with the din number first. 1 to 4, 2 to 5, 3 to 2, 4 to 7,
and 5 to 3, with this setup you have to tell the modem to ignore the dtr.
This is looking at the end of the din with it numbered like this.
				6 7 8
				3 4 5
				 1 2

I have made the 25 to 25 jumper and it works fine.
