Re: USB to 9-Pin Serial Conversion
The USB specification is IIR freely available (and several hundred pages). There is quite a bit that goes on at the MAC and PHY levels which software does not, typically, have control over. RS232 has none of that.
I recommend a little dongle. Blackbox makes some nice multi-port ones, as do other companies. I'd avoid anything with a prolific chipset, the FTDI chipset is better.

Sells some modules for integration if you are interested. I've used them for projects before and they work pretty well. Drivers for windows and linux.
