Hello-

This transistor is an amplifier, but I believe it does the level-shifting
required to make this work.  The signal coming out of your board is 0-5V vs
rs232 is -12 to +12 or something of that sort (i'm no expert).

As noted below the section with the BC337 (
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/hardware/port.serial#from.a.pda.or.cell.phone.serial.cable)
and also above in a brief note, an cell phone adapter can be used.  My
TTL<->rs232 converter is an old siemens cell phone data cable with the
wires hacked and some terminals crimped onto it.

Yes, some level converter is obligatory for serial port to work

I'm unclear about what you mean in your p.s.

hope this helps.
