A standard parallel (or serial) cable that has been dog chewed or vacuum
mowed can be turned into a null modem adapter just as Ron said. If you
have no old cable or connectors to start with, null modem adapters are
available at many places; just plug it into one of the comp ports, plug
that end of the cable into it. The cable is a regular serial or parallel
cable in this case.
