You don't say whether it will be a laptop or a desk machine. If its the
latter, don't forget that you can buy and install inexpensive serial
adapter cards.

As for USB-serial adapters, I've had a pfranc one for a while. Its
probably not the cheapest adapter but it 'just works'

Larry Berg, the guy behind pfranc, is a flying nut and proud owner of a
jet turbine powered amphibious ultralite. His site is a bit untidy but
fun. IMO its worth a look even if you don't buy anything.

BTW, to find his dealer list, click on Cables on the main page.

Bookmark the site: he sells Garmin GPS connectors and you just might need
one some day.
