Go down to the local electronix store and pick up a few feet of cable, a nice
rs232 connector (db25, mini8 din, etc) and four small pins (well, they are
hollow, so I suppose they shouldn't be called pins) and solder it all together.

Download a nice kermit program, and go to work - works quite nicely
