See eBay item #510174182 BIN price for Keyspan usb to mac serial $14.75
and $4.00 shipping. There may be others with lower price but this is
the first that I saw.
You will also need a NIC dongle or SER-001 which will be another $30 to
$45.
I recommend that you borrow one of the cards (check archives for card
lending service) with essential inter/ethernet drivers and buy an
ethernet card for about $10, unless you need the serial adapter for
printing.
