Yeah, I just did that same thing, and added a cheap Null-Modern adapter in-line and all was good. I keep an set of male-male and female-female Null-Modern l adapters, plus a bunch of gender adapters around just in case. So far I've connected M100, Epson PX-8, Cambridge Z88, Amstrad NC200 running CP/M and a bunch of DOS palmtops. The USB serial adapter has lights for RTS, CTS, TxD, RxD etc. I highly recommend that for troubleshooting. My hardest was a Poqet PC Plus where I had to build a custom cable from an old Toshiba External floppy. I connect it to a RPI Zero and surf the modern web with Links2.
