Guy,
Yes.
We had an old laptop with a serial port but no USB port and we were successful in programming a VEX controller with it...
If you look at the orange cable, you will see that it comes apart at the DB9 connector. Take it apart at that connector.
One half is a USB to serial converter and the other half is a serial to RJ-11 cable.
The mounting hardware on the DB9 forced us to use a standard (straight through), M-F, DB9, serial extension cable (IFI P/N CABLE-DB9-6FT-MF) between the computer's serial port and the orange cable's DB9.
Make sure that the IFI_Loader software is configured to the proper port. In our case it was COM1.
It worked like a charm...
Mike
