If you are using windows, use hyperterminal, Linux use minicom, Solaris dtterm... Just connect the 2 machines together and open a terminal in one to access the other. Though connecting to a windows machine in this way is pointless, as serial communication is only going to be command line. This type of connection is useful for linux or unix machines without video cards or it can be very useful for diagnostics...
Good luck

What exactly do you want to do?
RS232c is a communication protocol. If you are using a PC, there are a number of routines in windows API, which you can use yo control the serial port, which is the other name of rs232c in the PC world.
There are a number of small programs that allow you to communicate through the port. look for them at sourceforge.net

A long time ago you could connect computers by parallel port or serial port by a cable. Now adays it's done by usb or by cat5 (network cables). Two computers connected to a router will allow the computers to share data.
