In previous jobs I have made 25- and 9-way cables using ribbon cable and snap-on connectors.
If you know someone in the computer and/or communications business they may be able to help.
Otherwise, if you're good at small soldering jobs, you could make up a conventional cable using parts from Maplins (if it would fit, that
is).
HTH,
David

a standard serial cable is 9pin D-type male to female, you can pick these up for pennies if you shop around.
