I beg to differ!  I am CURRENTLY using a MacPlus/SE/II -> Imagewriter I cable
as the cable between my Mac II and  my Hayes V-Series modem - so I can vouch
for it working.  It won't do hardware handshake (;-), but it is a standard
modem cable!!

I also know that back in the old days of the Mac, you could also use your IWI
cables for modem cables then to, and since the change in the serial ports was
not great enough to cause problems (provided you had the ->9 converter) you 
could still use the same cable to that as well.

I can produce pinouts...
