You pretty much need one of these

available from many places
Thanks for the link. They seem pretty cheap there compared to what I paid for my gear. As it is I brought the cable version of that last night and cost me $28nz ( +-$24us)
I guess I was just hoping there was a easy/quick/cheap way to do it.
Funny thing is a stumbled across a page that showed what I presume to be a RS232-TTL adaptor that only uses a fer resistors transistors and diodes.
It looked very similar to a DIY data cable I made to download data from a Suunto dive computer vis RS232. Chances are that may work....but I am waiting for my cable in the mail all the same.
