Strange, I got my modem a few days ago, and they sent along a DB9-DB25
pigtail.  (Still waiting for the machine, of course.)  Give them a call,
they probably forgot to throw one in, as it was packaged separately.

This one isn't bad, from what little I've played with it.  Just got it
plugged in to my desktop yesterday, and it seems to be a lot quieter (less
line noise) than my internal Prentice (which is as old as the hills
anyway).  I like it, thus far.  We'll see how long batteries last, tho...
