First you need a driver for the serial cable.  Odds are it's got
a Prolific PL-2302 chip in it in which case use the driver here:

This will create devices when you plug the cable in named:

	/dev/tty.usbserial
	/dev/cu.usbserial

You may use screen(1) to attach:

	$ screen /dev/tty.usbserial

Use ^A^\ to exit (control A, control backslash).
