    If you don't want to spend $25-$30 for a rs-adapter, you can
easily do it with parts worth of few $.. Couple of transistors ,
resistors and diodes will do it. And if you don't want to sweat
with transistors you can use inverters.. (74ls06)... just a
couple of hours work, and it will work with almost any rs-interfaced
machine.. (it's a bit dirty using 0V,5V instead of +-9V, but it
does work!)
