There are relatively cheap USB-to-serial devices.  That's worked pretty well
for me.

      Seems like these are all but extinct, but does anyone know of a
'new' 
notebook that has a serial port built onto it? I've found some that 
have port replicators, but that can be a pain when you need to serial 
into a router or some other device. What do you guys use?
