You assume incorrectly.

You'll need a null modem cable and a COM (serial) port on the PC. The
printer port will NOT work. PC COM ports usually have boy pins, and
printer ports have girl pins.
Recent PCs have 9-pin COM ports, the older ones have 25-pin, so you may
need an adapter in addition to the null cable.

Anything from the early DOS Procomm to Hyperterminal. Doesn't really
matter. I like the shareware program "CRT" which is both a nice telnet
app and a serial terminal emulator.
Default for Portmasters is 9600 bps, 8 data, 1 stop, no parity.
