direct connection

Ok, I know this can be done, I just do not know how. Basicly It looks like Ill be getting my laptop back. So I have a colocated server and since I only have 1/3 rack, no real space for monitor and keyboard. I go there once or twice a week, and honesly I do not like to cart the monitor and keyboard they let me use there. One of the fellows over at verio suggest I use a laptop and connect to it. So I have no idea how to do this honestly. I tired searching around, but I do not know really what to look for. Im GUESSING it goes through serial port because thats what is used to direct connect to a router. Im connecting from windows to freebsd, any help would be appreciated. Also this now does not make me look like a fool caring around a laptop case with not laptop in it(I use it as a breif case)
