Like someone else already posted you need a serial terminal program. The one that leaps to my mind that most everyone has is HyperTerminal.
Instead of putting a phone number into it, change the Connect Using from whatever it is listed to 'Direct to ComX' where X is your serial port number (ie: Com1, Com2). Also, make sure you match the settings you put in when you initialized the serial consoles or you'll see funny characters on the console.
