Serial ports have been phased out for the most part. Everything today relies on USB and Firewire (1394). There may be a few that still have serial ports but you may have to do what I did along with countless others and use a USB to serial adapter. If you do a search on these forums you will find a thread or two about the adapters which include some of the recommended ones. I have one from Radio Shack for $49 that I've never had any problems with. I had another one before that, a 'no-name' I got at a local computer show that I paid $20 but I could never get it to work.
