yes, do a search on fleabay for "usb to serial" without the "" but make sure it comes with a driver disk if your using Vista.

Or buy a PCI card with two Serial Ports on them.

The first is the cheaper option.

Thanks for the link Ice. I don't suppose by any chance you are running Vista 64-bit on your laptop? I know in the FAQ's it says Vista support, but a lot of hardware only supports 32-bit.
