yes I don't know what we will do when there are NOT COMPORT COMPUTERS.
But I did use one of the older (like 5 years ago) Belkin USB to serial 
adapters.
It even did 5 bit code for fsk/rtty.
Should have kept it as then I'd remember the model number...
But you may find one on eBay.
Think the model number began with a FU something something.
sorry I can't be of more help.
I'll ask on the rtty reflector, someone will remember....I'm old and can't 
remember ....much of anything.
