You can use the new laptops and get a USB to serial emulator, sometimes these don't work, but usually do. There is a nice Toshiba laptop that goes for about 450 that has a native serial port on it.Create your own VB Gallery here.

i'm using a compaq armada 1700 that i paid $20 for. it has dual battery bays and runs for nearly 5 hours on a full charge. its heavy and ugly.. looks just as old as it is... i can leave it in the car without fear of it being stolen. perfect.
oh yeah, and it has a native serial port.Escort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft. Lbs. @ 23 PSI

I use an iogear usb to serial adapter with only having to assign the usb device to COM2 on my laptop. I tried 4 before settling on this one, luckly I stock things like this at work"Discontent is the first necessity of progress."

Usually if the usb to serial jack wont work find a multi-port usb jack and plug it in from there and it should work. I have this sprint mobile broadband and it plugs into the usb but it wont recognize it to download the drivers. I had this multi-port usb jack and plug it in to the Notebook and then the sprint wireless usb modem and it worked.Cincinnati, ohio Bengals for life

looking at the pic its looks the same down to the molded plastic lines so it maybe the same manufacturer, worth a try"Discontent is the first necessity of progress."
