Jim

If your old notebook has no USB, but has PCMCIA slots, you can add  pcmcia
to serial pcmcia cards

http://www.quatech.com/catalog/rs232_pcmcia.php

If you have an Ethernet port, you can go to Ethernet to serial converters.
Check same URL above for quatech device servers (ethernet to serial) or
www.digi.com . Digi has a neat unit called Digi One SP, if one serial over
the Ethernet is enough.
