Although there are inexpensive serial to USB adapters, not all of these adapters work well. Because serial data is bidirectional (as is the Slinke), I would recommend a better than cheaper one. Although I don't have first hand experience, I understand the IO Magic device works well in a bidirectional environment.

My problem is that the end that I need to connect to my computer is female and my computer only has a female connection in that size. Is there an adapter I can purchase or can I magically connect my Slink-E using a USB?
