Simple Serial Cable:
In case other people are as useless as I am at building serial cables - here is the pin out I'm using to connect my E3 to a 9-Pin D serial port on my PC.
Pin2 -> Tip
Pin3 -> Ring
Pin5 -> Sleeve
Or you can use a level shifter, a universal (i.e. E2/E3) design is available here http://www.cambridgewargames.org.uk/members/andy/emailer/
Or, if you're handy with a soldering iron ["Serial cable for the paranoid"] provides some over-voltage protection for the E3.
