Oops, there's a typo in this.  Pin 8 on the MiniDIN side should NOT
be connected to Pin 7 on the DB-25 side.  It SHOULD be connected
to the CTS signal, which is Pin 5 on the DB-25.  So, the correct
spec is:

	68040-to-modem
	MiniDIN-8	DB-25
	1 DTR		20 DTR
	2 DCD		8 DCD
	3 TxD		2 TxD
	4 GND		7 GND
	5 RxD		3 RxD
	6 RTS		4 RTS
	7 RTxC		-not connected-
	8 CTS		5 CTS

Note that the on-line zs(4) man page is correct.
