No, the eMate has a built-in serial port, so you won't need the
interconnect dongle. What you need is a cable with a DIN8 connector on
one end and a DB25 to fit your PC on the other end. If you've got an
old modem or something, it's probably got that kind of cable. Since
your PC probably has a DB9 connector on it, you'll also need a DB25 to
DB9 adapter.
You might be able to get away with using a DIN8 to DB9 cable, but I've
never gotten that to work quite right. The DIN8 -> DB25 - > DB9 seems
to work pretty well, though...
If you can find an interconnect dongle for the PC, that will work too,
but that will probably be harder to find.
