It uses TXD, RXD, and GND, and a sort of shield ground, and you probably 
want to avoid connecting any other pins because they're (ab)used for 
non-RS232 stuff like Elecraft's proprietary AUXBUS, power supplies, 
wattmeters, and stuff.

I'd have thought it would be trivial to make a cable or adapter with 
just those 3 pins connected. See KIO manual (downloadable) for pinouts.
