I used to have an HP-48SX.  Hooked it up to a Sun Sparc 1+ (at work), and to my  
NeXT Cube (at home)-- no problem.  You just need kermit on the computer, plus  
the right cable.

Since the cable has a weird connector on the calculator-side, buy the cable  
from HP (or just buy their IBM interface kit, which includes the cable).   
Kermit for the NeXT can be had from the purdue server (send 'help' as subject  
in an email message to 'archive-server@cc.purdue.edu').
