it's doable but you don't want to do it.
Get yerself from radio whack the standard serial db25/db9. Figure out how
things are wired, and in general you're safing doing the usual:
swap 2&3
pass 7 through
Then you take your mac db9->db25 and your db25->db9 and you should be
good.
If modem controls seem like they're causing trouble let me know, there's a
standard list of pins you tie together.
