Getting shell access is fairly simple. All you need is a terminal emulator program and a fairly simple custom cable.
You need a small stereo-headset plug, like this:
and a Sub-D 9-pin connector which fits into the serial port of your computer - this could be a 9-pin or a 24-pin sub-D connector:
PCs have 9pin/25pin male SUB-D connectors, so you will need a corresponding female connector for the cable. The pin layout is as follows. Please have a close-up look at the connector, each pin or hole usually has the pin-number right next to it.
