Using USB for Consoling

Hello Managers.

 I'm playing with the idea of a new laptop, but most of them don't come
with RS232 ports anymore. So it seems I only have two options, buy a
PCMCIA RS232 card or find some way to use USB on the laptop with a DB9
adapter to console with. Any idea if the later idea will work? It'd be
alot cheaper.
The laptop would, naturally, be running Solaris (or Linux, but I'm more
worried about Solaris).

Thanx.
