All Dell Latitude laptops have RS232 port. Inspirons used to have it but the times have changed. USB converters can work with one and not with another device so even though i use them all the time as secondary port, i would not relly on it. I don't think this would work under DOS either but this is hardly important nowdays, I don't remember using any DOS software in a long time. Compatiblility of the PCMCIA cards with RS232 ports seam to be way better but the PCMCIA slots are now fewer than before (usually only one per laptop).
