A few months ago, I bought a synchronous serial modem from one of the list members.  A Penril Alliance v.32 box, with a normal-looking DB-25 RS-232 connector on the back, marked "DTE".  The manual says the modem is connected to the DTE device to the DTE connection.
 
I now want to hook it up to one of my 2500s, and I need to know whether to get a DTE (CAB-232MT) or DCE (CAB-232MC) cable.  I am guessing that, since the router is the DTE, and modems are usually DCE devices, that I need the "Router to RS232 DCE" cable.  But I'd like a second opinion, hopefully from someone who bought a modem like mine, and got it working in their lab.
