Yes, Radio Shack carries the 9 pin to 25 pin adaptor.

However, the cable you have is a null-modem cable, meant to be used to
connect the Zoomer with a PC, and won't work directly with modems.

Radio Shack also carries the Zoomer serial cable, which has the 25 pin
end, part number 25-3106, and runs around $20.

As always.
