Null modem cable

[knowabit1]

I bought a null modem cable but since found out I have no serial port on my laptop.

The usb converters I have seen do not work with vista.

What are the options?

reinstall windows xp
use a desktop with a pci serial card ( about 20bux)

use a pcmcia/serial converter, no drivers required....

dont think his laptop will have pcmcia, if it comes with vista its probably a newer one....

what sort of laptop?

If it's aToshiba you're in luck, they have port replicators.

If not a Toshiba then get a Belkin port replicator....much better idea !

I will google port replicators & have a read.
