From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   null modem
  
      A cable, especially an {EIA-232}
      cable, for connecting serial ports on two computers directly,
      rather than via modems.   Since, according to the
      specification, both computers should transmit on pin three of
      their EIA-232 connectors and receive on pin two, a null modem
      cable needs to connect one computer's pin two to the other's
      pin three and vice versa.   It also needs to have male
      connectors at both ends (again, according to the
      specification).

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
