You can still get laptops with real serial ports (HP sell them). You
might want to investigate whether you can manipulate the USB serial
adapter to your requirements. I tried once with setserial and it didn't
work - I havent had time to look into it further (potentially driver
dependent??). Minicom works fine for configuring routers/unix boxes
however.

/dev/ttyUSB0: character special (188/0)
absydos adam # setserial /dev/ttyUSB0
Cannot get serial info: Invalid argument
