Just to add to what Sam said, for the IIc+, a null modem cable is synonymous
with a "Macintosh to ImageWriter II" cable (they function the same way).

Just go to the local computer store and get a Mac->IWII serial cable, plug
one end into the IIc+ and the other into the PC's serial card port, and then
send from the IIc+ to the PC.
