The Octopus cable and the USB adapter are both DTE
i.e. they are designed to plug into a modem.
The RJ45 layout is arranged so that a rolled cable is DTE,
and a straight thru is DCE.
What I do is buy a DB9 to RJ45 plug from the likes of Frys
(Radio Parts here in Oz) and arrange the pins as below
RJ45 Func DB9 DB25
1 CTS 7 4
2 DTR 4 20
3 TxD 3 2
4 GND 5 7
5 GND 5 7
6 RxD 2 3
7 DSR 6 8
8 RTS 8 5
