The USB Adapters will work fine, shouldn't be any lag issues provided a decent USB adapter is used...
Stay away from Radio shack and Belkin Adapters, those have issues
I've been using this one:
http://sewelldev.com/usbtoserial.asp but have Blue Screen (BSOD) issues sometimes ... seems the drivers have problems closing the USB Connection and causes a hardware fault of sorts that windows can't recover from ... I've been using the latest driver released mid 2004 and it's been pretty stable though
some have also had good luck witht he keyspan USB devices

There's also the option of a PCMCIA serial port.. .this is the best option imho but also the priciest... I have just because I'm a tech geek heh ... but the usb adapters work well as well
