The Dell Serial cable has a small box in it with the electronics to convert a USB Device to RS-232 serial.
That's incorrect, the X5 has serial, but it doesn't use normal RS-232 voltage levels, the chip inside converts the voltages to standard RS-232 levels.

As for a cable to get to connnect to your modem I'd get this cable: http://www.serialio.com/products/ada...rial_RS232.htm It is already wired correctly for GPS and modem devices (connects to sync port).
