We are having a problem trying to connect an external "Hayes 2400
smartmodem" modem to a SUN IPC.  

PROBLEM: No response from the modem whatsoever. Leds
HS       RD SD TR MR
stay on all the time when the modem is turned on (led SD should
be on only when the modem sends data and RD should be on when the
modem receives data)

The cable wiring is as follows:
________			________ 
|	|1 --------------    1 	|       |
| 	|2 --------------    2  |       |
|	|3 --------------    3  |       |
|	|4 --------------    4  |       |
|DB-25	|5 --------------    5  |DB-25  |
|	|6 --------------    6  |       |
|	|7 --------------    7  |       |
|	|8 --------------    8  |       |
|	|		        |       |
|	|		        |       |
|	|20--------------    20 |       |
--------  			-------- 

One DB-25 is connected to the modem and the other to the serial
port adapter cable which is connected to port a on the Sun.

Any help would be appreciated.
