Unless your really into the challenge of it all, you might want to consider the MaStach ALDL Cable.

One needs to consider the price of the components, including the MAX232 chip, the printed circuit board, serial cable, and something to enclose it all. And, if you solder like me, the cost of 3rd degree burn treatment at the emergency room is the real icing on the cake. j/k
