Thanks to all who responded!

As it turns out, I already had two Xtreme units; I was wondering how to get
serial data out of it other than using the usb port.

I took Johns advice and ordered 2 classics from toysrus - 15 clams is a
pretty low gamble!

We continually seem to have gadgets around the shop that spit out 232 data
and I plan on using these to be able to quickly check them out, go/no-go
fashion.
