How (not) to make a PC serial (DB9) to //c+ (mini-din8) cable

In my continuing quest to get ADT working with my //c+, I have made a
cable that does not work.
I connected the following wires:
PC (db9) //c+ (mini-din8)
--------------- -------------------------
DSR (6) DTR (1)
DTR (4) DSR (2)
RxD (2) TD (3)
TxD (3) RD (5)
G (5) G (4, 6, 8)
I'm using Hyerterm on Win2k, with the same settings that work fine
with a //e and SSC.
On the //c+, I boot (no DOS) and enter IN#2 and PR#2.
Typing in the PC terminal window does not echo anything to the screen
of the //c+...nor does anything from the //c+ screen show up on the
PC.
Is the built-in serial card on a //c+ mapped to slot 2?
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
TIA,
Chris
PS - here are the PIN diagrams I'm working from:
I found the following pinout diagram (don't remember where...) for the
mini-din8 connector for the //c+ serial port:

I also found the following for a PC serial port (db9) connector:
