What standard defines everything about serial ports?
RS-232
What is a good alternative for a rs 232?
A good alternative for a RS 232 would be modern USB ports. The RS 232 is a serial binary single ended data port. This port is common on computers; however, recently this port has been replaced by USB ports.
What is com1 com2 com3 and com4?

What does the RS-232 standard apply to?
RS232 is a communications protocol for electronic devices to exchange information
Which ports are usually omitted by the legacy-free motherboards?
RS-232 serial ports, Parallel ports, and PS2 mouse and keyboard ports. These days, all of these functions can be handled by Universal Serial Bus (USB ) connections.
Where did the 232 in RS-232 come from?
The 232 doesn't stand or come from anywhere. It's just a reference number. RS-232 = Recommended Standard 232

If there are RS232-to-USB adapters why are there no USB-to-RS232 serial adapters?
RS-232 serial ports are far slower than USB ports. With very few exceptions, devices that use USB ports would be impractical to use on a serial port.
How to convert RS-232 serial port to bluetooth?
You need to get a Bluetooth RS-232 dongle, which connects to serial RS-232 port and provides bluetooth connectivity. These are similar to USB bluetooth devices to some extent, but need a power source for the electronics circuitry (as you may be aware that USB ports have 5V power supply but RS-232 standard has no option for power supply on the connector). So Serial port to Bluetooth convertors will have either an inbuilt battery or a power supply connector to feed power.
