I second this. The serial connection should ultimately be a standard Hayes
modem connector - just go buy a pro made cable at radio shack... BUT, the
connector _on the blackbox board_ ought to be a 10 pin ribbon header (with
width to use bail lock type connectors) which mates to a standard PC 10 pin
serial cable. I'm sure most people have plenty of these cables sitting
their scrap pile from old PCs. Once again, the board will likely be in an
enclosure, this makes it very easy to connect to a PC.
