I used a USB to RS232 convertor for I while but I would advise to use a PCMСIA to RS232 convertor.

Reasoning; More reliable and no risks to loose contact with connector due to spokes on the line.

I used the convertor in combination with a simple handset and a finish passing detector beam.
With the USB-2-RS232 adapter I was always allowed to disconnect a cable without risking to loose connection with adapter.

With the PCMСIA-2-RS232 card I can always connect an disconnect devices.

Yes, of course. Indeed it's the only solution for modern computers without native serial COM port. Just avoid noname suspicious adapters. Also I recommend Prolific chip.
