Better to buy one, but DIY can be done.

There are links to the datasheets of the one I recommend here:

What you are looking for is a 1.8volt, low voltage serial, to USB (or serial if you have a serial port on your pc) adapter.

Avoid makes/models that have indicator leds on the Tx and Rx leads - geekmaster reports problems with using those that require almost as much electronics skill to modify as building one from the git-go.
