From the description, it looks like a "straight through" cable to me, so it should be fine.
Are you sure, Chuck? The electrons are going to be going the wrong way... ;-)From the description, it looks like a "straight through" cable to me, so it should be fine.

@OP: I assume you really need a 25-pin female connector at the computer end?
No, no! It's a printer cable, so it's meant for the male end to plug into the computer, not the other way around!A PC is DTE, no? A modem is DCE, no? Straight-through. On all of my external modems, the modem is DB25F; on a PC, the connector (if not a DE9) is DB25M, so a MF-straight-through cable should be exactly what's needed, no?

Yeah, serial printers can have some unusual connections, but that usually requires an adapter or custom cable; the only possible issue with 25-25 pin cables is that sometimes not all connections are brought through.
