Zippy,

My Thinkpad doesn't have a serial port, either. This is why I recommend:

1. A PCMCIA Serial Port card (I have one of these and it was $200 back in the day, but works 100%).
2. A Belkin USB Serial Adapter (not 100%).
3. Purple Computing (www.pfranc.com). These guys are good

.

I recommend 1 or 3 if you're going to do diagnostic work.

Thanks,

Mitch
