so that means i would need a converter from low-level signals to com-port levels? A mobile to usb cable with serial converter in it should work then, I would think, as mobiles do use 3,3V for their serial port usually.

edit: Ok, after reading your post again, you think the actual circuit for the serial port would not be in the iLiad itself, right? So, something like a MAX232 RS232-TTL converter would not be enough.
