Pins 2 and 3 need to be crossed over (ie 2->3, 3->2, 7<->7).
You can solder this up yourself, but a WHOLE lot easier is to go down to
the store and ask for a "null modem adapter", which does this for you.
Usually about $6 US.

Um, he means get EITHER a null modem adaptor or a null modem cable, but
NOT both. Using them both together will not allow you to connect and may
cause lose of your hair trying to figure it out.
A null modem adaptor is only $3.99 at Radio Shack.
