It could be that the RxD wire broke after the first time you used the cable,
or your connector has a loose pin, or somesuch.

So no modem signals whatsoever are arriving on the cable. What kind of

I would think you'd do better with a proper null-modem cable with all the
required wires cross-connected and jumpered.
