John: I have used the following device with some success.
Sabrent SBT-USC1M USB to Serial (9-pin) DB-9 RS-232 Adapter Cable. I ordered mine from directron.com out of Houston, TX, but that is because I am only about 100 miles away.

Hi All I have a G4 Cube and PM G4 MDD both boot OS9 and I use a program to communicate data to CNC machinery. The method was always via printer or modem ports on the pre G4 machines with those ports. So the G4's have USB and I need to transfer the files via Mac to a RS232C hub connected to 8 CNC machines. The communication program has all the setup configurations, however only affords either printer or modem port. Is there any hope of making this work. At the moment I transfer the files via floppy to a G3 PPC to send to the machines. I want to eliminate that step.
