Most consumer computers do not come with serial ports while most "commercial" 
computers such as OptiPlex's do.

I have found not all Serial <--> USB adapters are created equal. My car's ECU 
(engine computer) is programmable but only via serial port, and my laptop only 
has USB ports and I had to be particular about which adapter I used else I'd 
get "no comm".

This is the one I picked up:

Anyone have a recommendation for a 12-14" laptop with a serial port? We have 
some field staff who require serial connections for monitoring equipment, and 
the USB/serial adapters don't always work.
