This cable connection worked for us.  The DB-25F is a Macintosh modem cable,
which connects the 8-DIN to a DB-25 connector.

         AT Serial   Imagewriter II
          DB-9F          DB-25F
            2              3
            3              2
            4              20
            5              7
        8 - 6              6 - 5
            7              4

Yeah, I know; the signal matchups look strange.  It works, though!
