| Hello, This 
depends on your final goal. You did not said if you need full or low speed or if 
you intend to have this function included as a module, a PCI card or on the 
mother board.  If i 
was in such a position, I would buy a small µcontroler (ST ones for example) and 
build a RS232 to USB function bridge. The 
USB part can receive the frames from the host and this can be transmitted to the 
peripheral PC on RS232 cable. This 
would be an easy project where you would just have to define the RS232 packets 
protocol. You 
can also access a small µcontroller via a PCI bridge on a card plugged on the 
bus. Hardware would be more difficult but the whole work would be the same 
(Defining a kind of protocol). Regards, Thierry
