Old RS-232 compatibility with new computers?

Glad to see this problem is resolved. I'm a bit late to the party but here's the RS232 adapter I use which includes drivers for all major operating systems.

I have great success using this express card with my ThinkPad T60/WinXP:

Also if you are interested in a nice page explaining how RS232 works, I found this website to be of great assistance.

Old RS-232 compatibility with new computers can use USB-TO-SERAIL also.
