[oopic] Serial Program Cable for ooPIC-S

Pardon me for asking what I'm sure most would consider a really basic
question, I promise tried to find the answer but I can't seem to find a
definitive answer.

I have the OOPIC-S board. I want to program the OOPIC via serial port
on my laptop. For some reason I was thinking it would at least come
with a serial cable or some way to connect it to my PC but I was
mistaken (should've got the OOPIC-R).

Can I just cut open an old serial cable and wire it to the 5 Pin
header? Elsewhere I see people talking about buying/making an RS234
level convertor. If this is required for my board, where's a good place
to get one? Is it easy to make? If so has anyone seen a good
instruction post?

Thanks in advance for your help.
