Analog inputs?

Question: I built a machine for my parents, has a lot of power, but no sound card (onboard). Can I use an RCA to mini cable that I have to bring in analog signals through the mike port or some other port? They have an IWILL KK266, it has three mini jacks on it. All I need to do is record a tape, turn it into a wav file and record to a CD. I suppose that I could get another sound card (HGXP...?) but they don't need it that badly. What software would I need? Can windows sound recorder do it?
 
the middle port is most likely called "line in." this should do ya' and windows sound recorder should work fine.
 
OK, I hooked up a tape deck and used the conversion cables to go from RCA to Mini, then started up a tape but I have no idea how to record stuff now. Do I need a special program? Is the cable only to output to RCA? How do you all do this, without special sound cards?
 
Bump and new problem. I am using the sound editor that came with adaptec 5 platinum, and I only get mono. Actually it mixes the two RCA channels down to one mono (left) channel. Is this unavoidable or is there some other problem?
