I cannot remember the last laptop I saw with a serial port, or a printer port. Modern laptops seem to have dispensed with all of those to become thinner and lighter.
I have a USB serial port I use with routers etc. They're cheap.
You need a real hardware serial port on the machine that is analyzed. An USB will not work, needs the USB stack to be loaded. The "rs232" stack is very low level. A direct CPU port. Some mainboards still have it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas))
