[TenTec] COmputer hook up to Omni VI+

I see that the Omni VI+ has a connection called a "serial port" in the
back, as well as an "Interface Port" which resembles a serial port DB
connector..

The description in the manual leads me to believe the Interface Port is to
be used to connect to a computer.  Today's computers seldom have serial
ports, and I see that cables are offered on eBay for these radios that are
1/8th" to USB, similar to the Icom cable.

What's the story?  What should one use?  What should one do with a computer
having no serial ports?
