Just ordered 6400 replacing K3S

Just ordered a 6400 and Maestro to replace my K3S.  I will be operating my system remotely for 5 months a year (winter Texan), and plan to use my KAT500 and KPA500.
Currently using a prolific cable, and understand that I need to change this.  Should I call Elecraft to get the right cables, or Flex?  Would like to make sure that I can start / stop and switch to from operate to standby, and ideally would like to do this without having a PC in the shack.  Is this possible?  I did search this forum, but really not finding a black and white answer, perhaps you could point me the right direction...
Thanks in advance for the advice!

    I have to update my QRZ!  We took our RV down to Mission TX last year and fell in love with the area, ended up buying a home and selling the RV.  Heading down there in a couple of weeks for the winter.

    Another option would be to use the a RemoteRig 1216H to have remote web control and monitoring of the amp.  This eliminates the need to leave a PC running with all the grief that comes from that.  You will need a usb cable attached to the flex to pass band data to the amp as well.

    Thanks!  I ordered a USR-N540, this will allow me to put my serial cables from my rotor and KPA500 plus having two additional "future" ports for my shack.
