if your laptop hasn't got null modem port u need a serial adapter so u can conect usb serial to null modem

i got a null with female at both ends and used a USB serial converter to one of my com ports.
that works a treat
ebay is great for pictures and prices
hope that helps

Null modem cable requires a comm port on the laptop, most modern laptops dont have comm ports anymore.
