[WANT] USB > Serial adapter (plugs into RS232 port)

I have a device with cable having a USB connector to plug into a computer.
I want to get a USB-to-Serial adapter so I can plug the device into a
computer's serial port (9 pin). This is backwards from modern times, when
companies are offering devices to convert a serial connector to USB to
plug into a computer's USB port. _I am looking to take a USB connector
and plug into a Serial port_.

Any leads would be most helpful. This would at least be used for a
laptop.

Thanks.

Scott
