You have to make it yourself.

I'll dig out the details. It cost me £30 including the soldering iron!

No, a standard null RS232 serial cable (9 pin to 9 pin) will work.

Go and speak nicely with your IT department and see if you can grab the lead off an old modem.

I think the serial 9 pin Belkin extension cable (male to female) will work too, about a tenner from PC world I think.
