The parallel to serial converter I and others recommended to Rodrigo is an
off the shelf unit.  Cuts hardware to plugging in three cables, software to
four mouse clicks (if I remember getting into HyperTerminal correctly.)

How DO I connect my Fluke voltmeter to a pdf reader?  Never thought of that
before but it sounds interesting.
