Re: what usb -> serial adapter should i get?

There's the Vex one, and there's also this Keyspan one I use:

It's slow though, most of them will be, they're meant for PDAs, not interfacing with this kind of hardware.

Also if you're feeling adventurous you could try an electronics project and make your own based on this nifty sucker:
