Serial/USB Adapter

I'm considering connecting my serial modem via this adapter. I'm wondering if their is a price to pay in terms of performance? The actual price of these adapters is enough that I don't want to find out by trial and error.
 
Well, USB cables are capable of high speed transfers, and I would imagine they're on par with whatever your modem requires. It's worth a shot.

BUT, if you really want to test the waters, go to BestBuy or something and buy an adapter. Give it a shot, and if it doesn't work out, return it.
 
Not a bad idea. I checked CompUSA, and I can sort of piece together a cable with an adapter that they have, and a short serial cable that I have. All of the serial adapters that I have found are 16" or less. I'll be going from 25 pin serial, to DB9, to USB. Maybe it will work.
