Guitar player doesn't do serial ports? ;-)

OK, I've never done anything like this before, but I'm motivated so
I'll give it a shot. Hopefully I can make some headway without having
to ask too many stupid questions, such as the one that follows:

Question: Is a 'null modem' cable just a plain serial cable, or is it
a special serial cable I need to go buy?

Cheers,
Mark
