[E3-hacking] E3 serial connection

Does anyone have a definitive answer as to what I need to hook up an E3 to a 
PC serial port?

The various opinions I've seen so far are:

* If you just wire it up, it may work, but you run some risk of frying the 
UART in the E3.

* If you just wire it up, it won't work, because you need to invert the signal 
levels.

* You can wire it up to an E2 line level converter and it will work.

Which one of these, if any, is right?
