turbo-link update with serial cable

[poncho]

well now that everybody is back from the nationals,somebody should be able to answer me this simple question...i have the new turbo-link update that i have installed on a dell laptop(2yrs old),xp,2gigs ram,no serial port so i need a cable for this..can i just install drivers for a generic cable or does it have to be a specific cable? i've tried 2 cables so far and they don't work.thanks paul....
