Yes you most certainly can, but not without the help of a DB-9 to USB converter. They typically run about $30 (US). Just Google "DB-9 to USB coverter" and guaranteed you will come up with something. I am sure that online is really going to be the only place to find it though. Most retailers wouldn't typically carry anything like this.

Hope this helps =]
