I use a USB<->RS232 dongle (they're
cheap) and talk to terminals with
my PC. I write code that generates the appropriate escape codes to
make the terminal do something interesting. You can also use a
terminal emulator program and have it talk to your terminal like its a
modem. I haven't needed any "null modem" cables in order for this to
work so far.
Just keep away from escape and SI/SO control codes for now.
