When I built my current PC a year ago, I specifically looked for a motherboard
with a serial port. There are still a variety of products out there that use it,
despite what major PC manufacturers want you to believe.

If you're lacking a serial port, one can either purchase a serial port card for
under $20 (check http://www.newegg.com as one low price source) if you have a
desktop machine, or get a serial-USB adapter for a little more.
