USB has 4 lines: +5V, gnd, 2 data lines
Serial has Rx, Tx, gnd, CTS, DTR, etc,
They are not pin for pin interconnectable.
you need an adapter in between.

Dear Frineds;

To connect a serial connector to USB you need an adapter circuit.
To find the circuit try to search on google for RS232 and USB schematic.

Several Pinouts resources can be found also on AllPinouts (http://www.allpinouts.org).

AllPinouts is a Web-based free content project (like Wikipedia) that collects information about hardware interfaces of modern and obsolete hardware, including pinouts of ports, expansion slots, and other connectors of computers and different digital devices (i.e. Cellular Phones, GPS, PDA, Game Consoles, etc.). All text is available under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) and may be distributed or linked accordingly. AllPinouts archive already contains hundreds of pages organized into three main categories (Connectors, Cables, Adapters) and several subcategories.
