Hi Sev,

OK, that means that you don't have a serial port on your computer. That's not uncommon these days as serial ports are considered "legacy" ports. In order to address this, you'll need a USB to RS-232 adapter. They're available from Radio Shack or Best Buy for about $30. You can get them cheaper from NewEgg, but you'll have shipping costs and lose time.

As for the terminal emulator, you've already got one with WinDoze. It's in the accessories tab of the start menu called Hyperterminal. Or, you can download Teraterm for free from the Internet.

Good luck,
