You may have to write your own software to read the
serial port.  This is not difficult and can be done
in either DOS or FreeBSD.  Probably no more than
20 lines of code.

You may have to put a null modem in the serial line.

Customized serial communications are always a little
tricky when you are first bringing them up.  You 
have to get tx/rx sorted out as well as all of the
dtr/dsr/cd.
