Laptop Serial Adaptor

Ok.. we had a conversation on here the other day about the fact that most new laptops don't have serial ports. There are USB serial adaptors (I have one) but I hear they don't work with all software. I currently use a couple old Toshiba laptops I got from usedlaptops.com several years ago that do have serial ports, but I got to thinking about options.

Somebody mentioned that there are PCMCIA to serial cards so I checked one of my vendors and found this one.

Looks like just the ticket except its relatively expensive at $205.00

Any others out there that might be a little more economical and work well. I would really like to start using newer laptops for stuff so that I can integrate better laptops with more services in the field.
