Sorry for the late reply.  I purchased the MSS1-T for different legacy
project.  I just got around to testing it on my //c.  I am using the
ADTPRO DIN-5 to DB9 cable connected to a male DB9 to female DB25
adapter connected to the MSS1-T.  Then using zlink I was able to
telnet at 9600 bps from my //c to my xmission.com shell account.

You can look at ADT's site for the pinouts.  It was designed to only
use software or no flow control.  I do not see an option for zlink to
use xon/xoff, it may be hard coded for hardware or no flow control.  A
proper modem cable with a null modem adapter should also work.
