You can probably buy a null modem cable at radio shack. It might also be sold as a lap-link serial cable. Be sure that the sex (protruding pins vs. recepticle) of the connector on the cable matches that on the computer you will connect to.
Be careful here. A null modem cable and a laplink cable have different connections, as I found out the hard way when I wanted to get PLIP working between two Linux boxes. I did find websites that sell cables and spec the pinout. Regardless of what they call it, if you know the pinout, you're in business.
