Jason,

        There are many USB adapters that will provide a serial port. This one is used by a lot of car guys for PCM reprogramming with pretty good results:

I don't think it can be done.

This is the first time I heard this question in 10 years of networking.

I have a question. What is Cisco's plan when laptops no longer have
legacy serial ports, but instead everthing is USB. Is their plans for a
USB interface on routers for technicans to use with Hyperterminal ?
