I have a Dell C400 that has a 9 pin serial.
In the past I have had laptops without serial. Using a USB dongle sucked, in
fact some laptops did not provide enough power on the USB port while on
battery power to make the USB dongle function. Further the USB dongle is yet
another hunk of crap to carry around, and having had to work in cramped
spaces, I found the dongle to be too much to deal with at times. For laptops
without Serial ports, I have used the "Silicom PCMCIA RS-232 serial port
Card" (http://www.silicom.co.il/srs.htm). I still keep one so I have have two
serial ports on my current laptop.
