I have never had a problem using a USB->serial adapter. My personal favorite is the one from IOGear, although co-workers have used Belkin's offerings without incident. One tip -- if using a windows OS, don't plug in the adapter until after your system has finished booting, otherwise you will be prompted to install drivers each time.
Typical Windows!!!
Try the usual market place...ebay!

This one works on both linux and windows AND can send a break key to do password recovery.
