I agree, the absolute levels probably don't matter too much in this case however if he is going to look at them with a volt meter then it's important to know what to look for.

Wikipedia may not be the worlds most accurate source but for this sort of thing it is generally relativly trustworthy. Here are some alternative sources from the people who actually make the parts: Maxim Application note 83 - Fundamentals of RS232.
National semiconductor or TI datasheets.
Note all of the circuit symbols show the line drivers as inverters since at the uart side a 1 is a high voltage and on the line side it is a low voltage.

Please replace "High level programming manual" in my previous post with "Programming manual which gets the hardware implimentation incorrect"
