I have tried using my SCSI/Dock adapter with the RS-232c, but the receiver

The PB's serial port, which is actually an RS-422 port, can simulate an 
RS-232 port.

Check Google Newsgroups for pinouts of Apple RS-422-to-RS-232 adapters.

If you want a commercially made solution, try Black Box Corporation.

As usual, you will have to write your own application.

If the external device emulates a known ASCII terminal, then your job is much 
easier.
