The traditional way is slightly different:

        TXD--RXD

        RXD--TXD

        DCD--DTR
        DSR/

        DTR--DCD
            \DSR

        RTS  RTS
         |    |
        CTS  CTS

The advantage being, that you don't trigger carrier loss if there
is hardware flow-control involved on either side.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
