The jumpers are setup so that you can swap 2/3 and 4/5, and play around
with 6,8 and 20.  In general, for a modem you want something like:

       o     o     o     o    o    o     o    o     o
        !           !          !          !
        o     o     o     o    o    o     o    o     o

You won't be able to follow the traces without an ohmeter, as some
of them are on the inner layers of the board.  If you want, I
can send you the wiring.  I'd send it now, but I don't remember it
exactly... 

I used to work for SDS, and have a complete set of manuals available,
as sell as a working 4 user system.

Hope this helps
Tim
