startech serial card

[Chuck Hallenbeck]

I can't answer the question about the USB driver, but it should not be 
difficult to find a computer with a serial port on the motherboard. I 
just bought a new computer with a very nearly state-of-the-art 
motherboard, that came with a serial port on the motherboard. Laptops 
might be a different story though, or so I understand.
