Everything except the supplies for the RS232 cable (haven't found any stores that stock 6 pin RJ12 connectors), can be found at Radio Shack at typical convenience prices (about twice the price for RJ11 ends as Digi-Key). The Getting Started Guide at Luminary Micro's site (which can't be direct linked like in my last post) has the part numbers for Digi-key and instructions for the cables. If you dont want to spend the money on the modular adapter and 6pin cable for the RS232 Cable then you can order some RJ12 some sort of DB9 connector (you might have some of these from previous years).
