There is effectively no AppleTalk over USB to Serial adapter (I haven't
heard of any USB to LocalTalk adapter). The closest you can get is using
LocalTalk to Ethernet, or, more specifically, LocalTalk to EtherTalk
adapters, like the Asante's AsanteTalk and the Farallon's iPrint. I'm
personally using an AsanteTalk and I'm quite happy with it. It lets me use
any LocalTalk based devices with my Blue & White G3 that doesn't have a
LocalTalk/Serial port anymore.

********************** Usual disclaimers apply **********************
dangling pointer n.: [common] A reference that doesn't actually lead
anywhere (in C and some other languages, a pointer that doesn't actually
point at anything valid). Usually this happens because it formerly pointed
to something that has moved or disappeared. Used as jargon in a
generalization of its techspeak meaning; for example, a local phone number
for a person who has since moved to the other coast is a dangling pointer.
