x 	You simply need a Null-Modem cable wired for a din-8 (the Mac SE) to
x a DB-25 (the Imagewriter I).  If it helps, this is also the same cable that
x one would use to connect a Hayes-type modem (with a DB-25) to an SE (or
x other Din-8 equipped Mac).

NO NO NO! The Mac plus to DB-25 modem is NOT a standard null modem cable.
The cable to attach a Mac SE to and Imagewriter I must be designated
a Mac Plus to Imagewriter I cable. TO DO WHAT YOU SPECIFIED ABOVE REQUIRES
THE USE OF A NULL MODEM ADAPTER!
