The modem signals as published in ST.mac (May 1984) are as follows:

MAC APPLE MODEM
1. frame ground nc
2. +5v data set ready
3. signal ground signal ground
4. transmit data + not connected
5. transmit data - receive data
6. +12v data terminal ready
7. input (HSC) carrier detect
8. receive data + frame ground
9. receive data - transmit data

The connections they suggest are:

3. 3.
5. -> 9.
6. -> 6.
7. 7. (signal ground)
5. -> 2. (transmit data)
7. <- 8. (carrier detect)
9. <- 3. (receive data)

I didn't bother to run a high signal from MAC 6. to data terminal ready
(ROBOTICS 20) because the modem doesn't seem to need it and I don't
really care if the modem hangs up when I turn my terminal off (also, I
had some 4 wire cable handy, so it was just more convenient).

This setup works fine for a Mac running MacTerminal.
