Yep, exactly. I ordered two of this 25-pin M:M gender changer (one for my WiModem232 and one for the GuruModem, ‘cos I didn’t want to keep swapping them in and out).
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00066HP5G/ <https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00066HP5G/> Here are photos of both modems connected to my Tandy 102: https://imgur.com/a/e4BppYA <https://imgur.com/a/e4BppYA> (And it looks like I have a firmware update for the WiModem232, per the on-screen message… how fun!)
