I made one of those some years ago.  Here is what I've got on it:

Handshaking Cable

IIc DIN-5       Modem DB-25 Male
1-------------------4 RTS                      1
2-------------------2 TxD                      3
3-------------------7 Gnd                      4
4-------------------3 RxD                      5
5-------------------5 CTS                      2

Without Handshaking

IIc DIN-5       Modem DB-25 Male                 MiniDin IIc Plus
1-------------------20 DTR-------------------------1
2-------------------2 TxD   -------------------------3
3-------------------7 Gnd    ------------------------4
4-------------------3 RxD   -------------------------5
5-------------------6 DSR  or Pin 8, DCD. ---------2

I'm pretty sure the info on the IIc Plus is good, because I figured it out
myself and made a working cable.  I'm less sure of the IIc info. I remember
it was a challenge. I wasn't too worried about getting a fast connection,
since the files are small and I was just working with floppies anyway.
