Yep it's becoming a prob as not many new laptops come with a serial port............... Toshiba still do one called a workstation Tecra but they start at about 3.5 K
You can use a usb to serial convertor but sometimes you may have to try several types as apparently the Baud rate varies and as a result will not always work program pending ???? So the geeks tell me.
Basically if you buy one and it doesn't work try a different brand
