You can get serial-port to USB converters, about 15-20$. They work just fine,
I used them to connect older instrumentation to laptops in the DSN. There are
even USB to parallel port converters too....

Really, when was the last time anyone saw a new laptop with a serial port?
:^) Although I am a dyed-in-the-wool Mac guy, I keep an ancient HP/Compaq
Windows XP machine around just because it has a real serial port on it...

Have you tried a laptop? Use the serial port and read the data directly to see
