A 25-pin serial connector actually has two sets of serial data pins, the main one and a “control channel” (can’t recall what the exact terminology was). Maybe this thing splits out the control channel into a separate plug? It uses the same signalling format AFAIK, so it should work.

Interesting information, but I'm betting it's just a serial cable with both 9- and 25-pin connectors on one end. They're pretty common.
