First you will need a "null modem cable" which is a special type of serial cable. Then because I presume your laptop does not have a serial outlet you will need to buy a serial to usb converter, this is available from electronics/computer shops like radioshack or maplin. Be warned though that this convertor works most of the time but not always all the time.
Good luck
bro,try google search for searching the compatible usb to serial(rs232)driver.goodluck.....
