usb serial convertor

2007-10-01 Thread The Longs
I'm trying to get Gregs temperature controlled fridge to work, but the catch is that the laptop I'm using doesn't have a serial port. I'm hoping I can use a usb to serial convertor and tell the program to look at the usb port for the temperature probes, but I am lost as to how to do this.
