Now, I was able to get an external modem. No workee... The modem RD/TD LEDs are flashing, DTR is lit on permanently so the modem is receiving and *tries to send*. Maybe the shop went this far in testing to say that the cable works. :-( But the PC isn't receiving. E.g. in WinXX, the modem is not found, in RH9, no dialing out.
At least it is consistent with my findings with the null-link cable. Back to the shop and sorry for the noise.
