You need a female<>female null modem cable.

The wires must be crossed NOT straight.

You can easily buy a ready wired Null Modem cable.

For instance in the UK this is what Maplins sell www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=13509&doy=2m5D

Or you could make your own cable if you have the components and can use a soldering iron.
