    I hear that with some software from FTP it can be done, but what about
    if I cannot afford buying a copy?

Anything that supports redirection of the PC's BIOS serial communication
interrupt (14h) will do this.  Commercial products from Beame & Whiteside,
FTP Software, 3Com, Wollongong and perhaps now Sun do it.  Of the non-
commercial packages, I'm sure the academic-institutions-only package
from the University of Maryland will do it, but I'm not sure about others.
