Don't forget that you can also do this with an Ethernet 10*base-T
equivalent of a "null modem": you use a "crossover cable" wiring
arrangement, which effectively swaps send and receive in the cable.
Should cost about the same as a standard cable, but harder to find on
the shelf of your local supplier. You may have to try one that caters
to business applications. Assuming, of course, that both computers
support Ethernet.

correct me if I'm wrong, but afaik what you're talking about is a so
called "null-modem" cable which is serial in contrast to printer cables
which use parallel ports.
The only thing those connectors have in common is their shape and that
they both have 25 pins, however a serial link cable only has masculine
connectors whereas those used in a parallel cable are feminine.
A direct connection can be made with either a serial or a parallel
cable. I've done both. Either way the send/receive lines must be
crossed over in the cable.
