If this will help, my COM1 has a 25 pin connector and I have
successfully connected to an apple2c clone 5 pin connector
by making my own cable with the following pinouts:

     5pin             25pin
     ----             -----
       2                3
       3                7
       4                2
                        4 & 5 connected together
                        6 & 8 & 20 connected together

I used a communications program called Telix to send ADT.DMP
to the apple2c.
