Hi, ask the Apple lady for a "Macintosh to ImageWriter I"
cable.  Or try to find one from an Apple IIGS, Macintosh,
or IIc+ user somewhere.

A printer cable is equivalent to a modem cable with a
null modem inside.

THUS, once you have a PRINTER cable with the right
connectors, you ALREADY HAVE a null modem.

Just one end into the IIc modem port and the other into
the PC serial port (DB-25).  If your PC uses DB-9, you
must get a DB-25 to DB-9 also.
