Sure. :-)
From my memory: It is the "Simple null modem without handshaking". Pin 5 normal
connected (ground or vcc, s.th. like that), and the most important is that the
pins 2&3 are crossed:
Pin 2 from the first plug leads to Pin 3 in the second plug and Pin 3 from the
first plug leads to Pin 2 in the second plug.
That is the "secret"...
