thanks what cables do i need its a newish comp

 

You`ll need a null modem DB9F to DB9F cable.
If your pc does not have a serial port you`ll need a USB to Serial port adaptor. The links are in the guide i gave you.

 

These are the cables you will need if you have no 9 pin connection, check it out first and make sure.
