A. Fortunately there are USB-to-RS232 converters available. These can be purchased at most local computer stores for about $40. Or you can web order such a device from www.bb-elec.com, item number UC232A. Note that we are not able to troubleshoot problems with USB converters so you should contact the converter manufacturer if you experience problems.
