This comes up a lot so I searched the forums and this is a summary of specific cables people have said work. Probably any FTDI based cable will work. Avoid cheap Chinese cables. Win7 and Vista have native drivers for FTDI USB-serial devices. Samba 2.10 runs fine under Windows 7.
Examples:
Digitus (FTDI) USB-to-Serial-Adapter
ES-U-1001-R100 USB-to-RS232 (FTDI) adapter (Based on the latest FTDI "R" series chip set technology). Sold by EasySync, but this is the FTDI cable product.
USB-COM232-PLUS1 (This is an FTDI adapter from USB to RS232, no cable)
FTDI US232R-10 (Same as the EasySync product)
