Use another PC !

Failing that, you need to get a serial port of one form or another. The best would be a real serial port.

If your PC is a desktop then buy a standard PCI serial card. If its a laptop then a pcmcia/pccard type serial port would do the job (assuming you have a pcmcia/pccard type port).

Failing everything else, a USB serial port could be tried. I'd leave that till the last option though due to the very variable results from these devices.
