6 and 8 are DSR and DCD; linking those is not likely to make much
difference. You're probably thinking of linking 6 to 20 (DSR and DTR)
or even linking 6 and 8 to 20. Might also be worth linking 4 (RTS) to
5 (CTS).

The equivalents on a PC-compatible 9-pin D-connector are linking 4
(DTR) to 6 (DSR) and 1 (DCD), and linking 7 (RTS) to 8 (CTS).

Of course, if this is not a PC-compatible 9-pin (which is *not* a
standard) then all bets are off.
