If you are certain your laptop doesn't have a serial port (they're usually hidden behind a panel on the back or on the side of the laptop) then you will need a usb to serial adapterlike the one available at Best Buy: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7135664&type=product&id=1110263657278 Or this one at Radio Shack: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2036258&cp=&kw=usb+to+serial&parentPage=search Or this one from CompUSA http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=50166510&pfp=SEARCH

Most modern laptops lack any sort of "legacy" ports such as serial ports, let alone them having two. Some older laptops did have multiple serial ports, but there's little point in recommending one because there's no guarantee you could find one. There are options for adding serial ports to a laptop, such as a USB to serial adapter, or a PC card with additional serial ports.
