Serial to PC connection for Debugging

Hi guys, at the minute i have two 08M2's communicating with each other through IR and I wish to use the debug command to check what commands are being sent to the IR Rx. I also just want to try the debugging feature out purely because it seems very useful. Basically I've been searching for a way to connect a picaxe to the COM port from a breadboard so that the serial commands can be sent from the picaxe to the PC. So far i have stumbled upon an image online that shows the difference between the connections for serial uploading and downloading, is this image correct?

You just use the same circuit as you do to program the chip with.
Have a look in picaxe manual one, all the information is there.

Ah, Thanks. I always imagined the download cable would have to be tweaked for use with serial out. Hopefully i can use .NET to interact with my circuits now!
