Or, a person can build their own interface and save quite a bit of 
money.  An article describing such an interface was written by 
Wallace Blackburn AA8DX and appeared in February 1993 QST, pages 37 
to 41.  In fact the author covers interfaces for Kenwood, Icom, 
Yaesu, and Ten-Tec.  I am in the process of building the unit for 
my TS-850 I just bought and should complete it tonight.  His approach 
uses a Harris ICL232 or Maxim MAX232 TTL to RS-232 converter chip and 
optoisolators for complete isolation of the rig from the computer.

4800, 8 bits, no parity, 2 stop bits.  Seems to be a Kenwood 
"Standard".
